and he can't come back to me

I stand on the beach alone

deep sea as you hold him to your breast
D

oh please tell me deep blue sea
C

is he sleeping peacefully?
D

can you keep him warm for me?
D

if only my grieving soul

I'd leave this world behind

a beautiful rose one day

have replaced all the crist of wave
D

above his watery grave
D

the drift would have washed in vain
C

my rose never came back again
D

said I'll be with him above
D

what does the deep sea say?
C

what does the deep sea say?
It groans
D
Em
C
It holds to lovers and peace
D
G
and rolls along its weary way...
