My Lover’s Gone

My lovers 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 I dream of rain I dream of gardens in the desert sand I wake in pain I dream of love as time runs through my hand I dream of rain I lift my gaze to empty skies above I close my eyes, this rare perfume Is the sweet intoxication of her love Sweet desert rose This memory of Eden haunts us all This desert flower, this rare perfume Is the sweet intoxication of the fall
