The storms are on the ocean. on and on they go. searching through the waters. where you might be low. and I am so downhearted. never to be well. and I am disappointed. the words will never tell. the storms are on the ocean. the heavens may cease to be. this world may lose its motion. if I am false to you. the last time that I saw you. you shook my hand goodbye. you said it wasn't forever. that would be a lie. but that was such an old friend. he holds you in his hands. and I am so long waiting. to meet you in that land. the storms are on the ocean. the heavens may cease to be. this world may lose its motion.
