Folk and Traditional Song Lyrics:
Sea of Heartbreak

Sea of Heartbreak

Sea of Heartbreak
(Paul Hampton and Hal David)

The lights in the harbor don't shine for me.
I'm like a lost ship adrift on the sea.

CHO: Sea of heartbreak, lost love, loneliness,
     Memories of your caress, so divine,
     I wish you were mine again, my dear,
     I'm on this sea of tears,
     Sea of heartbreak.

How did I lose you? Oh, where did I fail?
Why did you leave me, always to sail?

Oh, what I'd give to sail back to shore,
Back to your arms once more.

Come to my rescue. Come here to me.
Take me, and keep me away from the sea.

As recorded by Don Gibson.
