I have lost my true and only loveTo the waves and far awayTo the listless sea, the cloudy skiesTo a new and distant dayThough I know you must goIt is hard for me and soIn the eventide I cryAnd I hope that you will think of meThe one you left behindUnder different skies youâll do His workUnder different stars youâll stayI pray that when your work is doneThat Heâll send you home somedayEvery thought, every breathCarries aching emptinessFor your loving arms I sighAnd I pray that you will think of meThe one you left behindI would travel over waterI would race the river to the seaI would give my home, my everythingJust to have you here with meBut my heart is aliveTo the knowledge of His timingAnd so âtis here Iâll stayâTil He sends you home to me againTo the one you left behind
