[Verse 1] I met him one morning in the month of May, He promised me forever, then he sailed away. The wind took his ship and the waves took his name, Now I’m left with the silence and the old heart’s pain. [Chorus] Oh my blue-eyed sailor, where have you gone? Left me here waiting from dusk until dawn. The road to the harbor is long and it's wide, But the road back to you is a lonesome ride. [Verse 2] The sea is so wide and the sky is so high, I stand on the shore and I watch the gulls fly. Every ship on the water, I look for his sail, But the ocean just laughs at my lonesome tale. [Chorus] Oh my blue-eyed sailor, where have you gone? Left me here waiting from dusk until dawn. The road to the harbor is long and it's wide, But the road back to you is a lonesome ride. [Verse 3] The nights are so cold and the days are so long, I sing to the wind my sweet sailor’s song. If he ever comes back to the harbor again, I’ll run to the water and call out his name. [Final Chorus – slower, softer, almost spoken at the end] Oh my blue-eyed sailor, where have you gone? Left me here waiting from dusk until dawn. The road to the harbor is long and it's wide, But the road back to you… is a lonesome ride.
