Intro: I'm going away to leave you love I'm going away for a while But I'll return to you sometime If I go ten thousand miles The storms are on the ocean The heavens may cease to be This world may lose its motion, love If I prove false to thee Oh, have you seen those mournful doves Flying from pine to pine? They're mourning for their own true love Just like I mourn for mine The storms are on the ocean The heavens may cease to be This world may lose its motion, love If I prove false to thee I've cried myself to sleep each night Thinking only of you I wonder if you'll wait for me To me are you still true? I'll never go back on the ocean, love I'll never go back on the sea No never go back on this blue-eyed girl Say you'll always love me The storms are on the ocean The heavens may cease to be This world may lose its motion, love If I prove false to thee.
