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
If I were false to thee
