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 it's 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 it's motion   If I were false to thee
