What Does the Deep Sea Say Songtext

von Handsome Family

Oh 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 misty blue
Deep sea as you hold him to your breast
Does he mention my name to you?
What does the deep sea say?
What does the deep sea say?
It moans
It groans
It splashes and it foames
And rolls along its weary way

Oh please tell me deep blue sea
Is he sleeping peacefully?
The winds from the north are blowin as he cold
Can you keep him warm for me?
If only my grieving soul
Some token of love could flag
If only the waves would show me where he sleeps
I'd leave this world behind
What does the deep sea say?
Oh what does the deep sea say?
It moans
It groans
It splashes and it foames
And rolls along its weary way
A beautiful rose one day
Have replaced all the crist of wave
I said take it please
And let its pedals fall
Above his watery grave
The drift would have washed in vain
My rose never came back again
The waves take another massage through my love
Said I'll be with him above
What does the deep sea say?
What does the deep sea say?
It groans
It holds to lovers and peace
And rolls along its weary way...
