Where Does the Ocean Go?
Through a cloudy haze on the sunlit seaWe waved them away from the southern quaySeventeen hands but the one in chargeWas one fine man from the bayou sauvage
Mon cher Simeon keep safe, says I.I try not to show him the tear in my eyeI said my love I willl wait for youFarewell sweet boy from the wild bayou
(Chorus)Where does the ocean go?Should I let it take me?Any second they may wake meDoes anybody know?Where does the ocean go?
I knew back then as I always knownThat sailors pray as the trade winds blowBut the ship went down off the coast of SpainI read the letter and felt his pain
(Chorus)Where does the ocean go?Should I let it take me?Any second they may wake meDoes anybody know?Where does the ocean go?
Some days I walk on the harbour sideAnd I watch the sea and the rising tideAnd I see him there like a sad mirageMy lost man in the monde du sauvage
(Chorus)Where does the ocean go?Should I let it take me?Any second they may wake meDoes anybody know?Where does the ocean go?
Does anybody know?Where does the ocean go?
