Like a ship on the sea
Her love rolls over me
Like a ship on the sea
Her love rolls over me
Go way, go way
Let me be free
Like a weeping willow tree
Her love hangs over me
Like a weeping willow tree
Her love hangs over me
Go way, go way
Let me be
Standing on the white cliffs of Dover
Looking out into space
Have another channel to cross over
Another dream to chase
The night is dark and dreary
The wind is howling down
Your heart is hanging heavy
When your sweet love ain't around
Like a leaf on a tree
Her love is shaking me
Like a leaf on a tree
Her love is shaking me
Go way, go way
Let me be
(Haunting me like a ship on the sea)
Like a leaf, like a ship on the sea
(Haunting me like a ship on the sea)
