Lyrics
Where have you been my darling?
Why have you been gone so long, so long?
I've been watching the horizon
I've have dreamed of seven sees, of your return to me
Lost, lost, lost, far across the oceans
Held by cruel winds and fierce sees
That keep me far from you
Doubt was in your eyes, when I promised to come home
But I gave my word, in the face of the unknown
So many years ago, when I left you alone, when I left you alone
I waited through the seasons
Faithfull to you memory, did you stay true to me?
Now all hope I had has faded
All my energy is spent and I must start again
Home, home, home from across the oceans
Gone for so long, for so long
Will no one come to me?
My children all are grown and another gone
My love has lost all hope and to new love has flown
From a distance I must watch and I must lie alone
And I will die alone
