Over the Sea (2010)

Where is the lady whom you love?
Far, far away and over the sea.
Where is the lady whom you love?
Somewhere that I can never be.

Why is your love so far away?
She fled to seek another shore.
Why is your love so far away?
She did not love me anymore.

And what did she do before she fled?
She gazed upon me as I slept.
And what did she do before she fled?
She gazed upon me as she wept.

But why did she weep and wake you not?
The two of us were meant to wed.
But why did she weep and wake you not?
Another was with me in my bed.

So what shall you do now that she’s gone?
I’ll walk and weep by the wine-dark sea.
So what shall you do now that she’s gone?
I’ll kneel and pray she returns to me.

And what if she should not return?
I’ll wander by this stony shore.
And what if she should not return?
Until I wander nevermore.
