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

What Does The Deep Sea Say?

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
