Tim O'brien - What Does The Deep Sea Say lyrics

Where is my sailor boy, where is my sailor boy He sleeps at the bottom of the deep blue sea And he can't come back to me I stand on the beach alone and gaze at the mysty blue Deep sea as you hold him to your breast Does he mention my name to you? Chorus: What does the deep sea say, what does the deep sea say It moans, it groans, it splashes, and it foams, and it rolls on it's weary way Oh please tell me deep blue sea, is he sleeping peacefully The winds from the north are blowing icy cold Please keep him warm for me If only my dreamin soul, some token of love could find If only the waves would show me whre he sleeps Then I'd leave this world behind Chorus: What does the deep sea say, what does the deep sea say It moans, it groans, it splashes, and it foams, and it rolls on it's weary way A beautiful rose one day, I placed on the crest of a wave I said take it please and let the petals fall Above his watery grave The driftwood I watched in vain, my rose never came back again So wave take another message to my love Saayin I'll be here above Chorus: What does the deep sea say, what does the deep sea say It moans, it groans, it splashes, and it foams, and it rolls on it's weary way
