The mist rolls in from the swell of the sea Draping itself around the cove, below me I stand above it, watching as the fog hits My emotions are in an emotional mix The beauty of the cove and the shore Leaves me empty and aching more For my love never returned on his boat My love for him left, to forever float My heart was lost the very same night That my poor love lost, the living fight The sea, she decided to take him from me Waves so turbulent, like a fit of jealousy I stood waiting for him to return once more Where I'm stood now, the rain did pour The hours I waited but you never came You were never to come home to me again One year on and I'm stood here now One year ago, to your spirit I made a vow Holding our baby, she holds all our hope Now I bring her to the beauty of the cove I hope my darling you can see us here That where you are, you can feel us near We will return each year, on this day Listen close to what the waves do say I close my eyes, I feel you are there Your spirit is within this cove, everywhere When I open my eyes, through the mist I see From his watery grave, my love waving at me
