Lyrics
The storms are on the ocean, on and on they go
Searching through the waters, there you might be low
And I am so downhearted, never too be well
And I am disappointed, the words will never tell
The storms are on the ocean, the heavens may cease to be
This world may lose its motion if I prove false to thee
The last time that I saw you, you shook my hand goodbye
You said it wasn't forever, that would be a lie
But death is such an old friend, he holds you in his hand
And I am so long waiting to meet you in that land
The storms are on the ocean, the heavens may cease to be
This world may lose its motion if I prove false to thee
