Dido My Lover's Gone

My lover's gone,
His boots no longer by my door,
He left at dawn,
And as I slept I felt him go,
Returns no more,
I will not watch the ocean,
My lover's gone,
No earthly ships will ever bring him home again,
Bring him home again.

My lover's gone,
I know that kiss will be my last,
No more his song,
The tune upon his lips has passed
I sing alone,
While I watch the ocean,
My lover's gone,
No earthly ships will ever bring him home again,
Bring him home again.
