My love is gone across the ocean   Sailed away across the sea   We made a vow said we'll make it somehow   I guess it wasn't meant to be       The northwinds blow time passes by so slow   And in my weary heart it's autumn forever more       My love is gone beyond the mountains   She's locked the door to my heart   And thrown away the key   You know we made a vow said we'll make it somehow   I guess her promise wasn't made for me       The northwinds blow time passes by so slow   And in my weary heart it's autumn forever more   The northwinds blow time passes by so slow   And in my weary heart it's autumn forever more       My love is gone across the ocean   Sailed away across the sea   We made a vow said we'll make it somehow   I guess it wasn't meant to be       The northwinds blow time passes by so slow   And in my weary heart it's autumn forever more   The northwinds blow time passes by so slow   And in my weary heart it's autumn forever more
