The storms are on the ocean On and on they go Searching through the waters Where you might be low And I am so downhearted Never to 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 am false to you The last time that I saw you You shook my hand goodbye You said it wasn't forever That would be a lie But that was such an old friend He holds you in his hands 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 were false to thee
