lyrics

When the dew sees the sunrise
I will be on my way
Though there’s always another
Thing or two left to say
And I’ll miss your sweet eyes, love
And your arms where I lay
I’ll be back in the evening
But it won’t be today

And I know it’s not right, love
To leave you so sad
When the blue leaves the ocean
That’s when I’ll be back

Well, there’s something that keeps me
From making a start
On the life that I know
Love, you’d have a part
And I won’t soon find better
Than the warmth in your heart
That’s not why I wander
It’s not why we’re apart

Well, the preacher he prays
With a bible on his knee
And the teacher will find
A way to make you see
And the bookkeeper toils
Labels parts one, two, three
And the sailor, my love
Must be on the sea
