What Does The Deep Sea Say? - Tim O'Brien

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 mysty 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 foams, and it rolls on it’s weary way

Oh please tell me deep blue sea, is he sleeping peacefully

The winds from the north are blowing icy cold

Please keep him warm for me

If only my dreamin soul, some token of love could find

If only the waves would show me whre he sleeps

Then I’d leave this world behind

What does the deep sea say, what does the deep sea say

It moans, it groans, it splashes, and it foams, and it rolls on it’s weary way

A beautiful rose one day, I placed on the crest of a wave

I said take it please and let the petals fall

Above his watery grave

The driftwood I watched in vain, my rose never came back again

So wave take another message to my love

Saayin I’ll be here above

What does the deep sea say, what does the deep sea say

It moans, it groans, it splashes, and it foams, and it rolls on it’s weary way
