If she should ask
Where I have gone
Don't tell her that
I will be long

Tell her to watch
The rising sun
And one day I
Will surely come

Through storm and sea
Through waters deep
From foreign lands
Where monsters sleep

I long to be
In her embrace
All wrapped in white
And powdery lace

Tell her I'll find
My way back home
I shall not leave
Her there alone

And lest I die
Out on the sea
Please ask her to
Remember me
