When my love and I parted the wind blew cold
When my love and I parted, our love untold
How my heart kept crying love come with me
But I turned my face from him and faced the sea
When my love and i parted we shed no tears
Though we knew before us lay weary years
For a bird was singing upon a tree
And a gleam of sunlight lay on the sea
Parting is bitter and weeping vain
And all true lovers will meet again
And no fate can sever my love and me
For his heart is the river and mine the sea
When my love and I parted, our love untold
How my heart kept crying love come with me
But I turned my face from him and faced the sea
When my love and i parted we shed no tears
Though we knew before us lay weary years
For a bird was singing upon a tree
And a gleam of sunlight lay on the sea
Parting is bitter and weeping vain
And all true lovers will meet again
And no fate can sever my love and me
For his heart is the river and mine the sea
