Tim O'brien - What Does The Deep Sea Say? Lyrics
Oh, where is my sailor boy? Oh, where is my sailor boy?He sleeps in the bottom of the deep blue seaAnd can't come back to meI stand on the beach alone and gaze at the misty blueDeep sea ere you hold him to your breast,Does he mention my name to you?Chorus:Oh, what does the deep sea say? Oh, what does the deep sea say?It moans, it groans, oh it splashes and foams, and rolls on it's weary wayOh please tell me deep blue sea, is he sleeping peacefully?The winds from the north are blowing icy cold,Please keep him warm for meIf only my dreaming soul, some token or sign could findIf only the waves would show me where he sleeps,I would leave this world behindChorus:Oh, what does the deep sea say? Oh, what does the deep sea say?It moans, it groans, oh it splashes and foams, and rolls on it's weary wayA beautiful rose one day, I placed on the crest of a waveI said take it please and let it set uponAbove his watery graveAs it would I watched in vain, my rose ne'er came back againSo wave take another message to my love,Saying I'll meet him aboveChorus:Oh, what does the deep sea say? Oh, what does the deep sea say?It guards, it holds true lovers, and sleeps, and rolls on it's weary way.
