I think of you all the time
I'll pay for all my sins, the heartache begins
I can't free you from my mind it seems so these days
I've tried every way
You have drifted so far from me
The winds of change have swept you away
Night and day it seems like eternity
Borders and time have kept you from me
Blue are the ocean waters
Along a lover's shoreline
You will not be forgotten
But now that you've gone
The heartache lives on
A warm breeze blows over a gentle sea
The summer is near, the heartache is here
The fiddler plays an old time melody
The tune is the same
Change the faces and names
Repeat Chorus
