My love has sailed beyond the sea
Standing on the beach, she left me
I swam until I could no more
I washed back up on the shore
I fought the waves until I fell
And despaired of reaching my belle
Beneath the tide I slowly sank
But a man drug me to the bank
The fisher of men softly said
With a voice that made the ache shed
Your time is yet to come my son
There's a world that needs to be won
There are reasons she could not stay
But you will see her some bright day
I'll be with you, no need to fear
Now come with me and wipe your tears
We have work to do that can't wait
Then you'll rest with your life's true mate
I gazed across the great expanse
One day soon, I'll ask for that dance
But not today, I softly sighed
For a while I must say goodbye
One last look across the water
Then to the work of my Father
