My Lover's Gone - Dido

My lovers gone

My lover’s gone

His boots no longer by my door

He left at dawn

And as I slept I felt him go returns no more

I will not watch the ocean

My lover’s gone

No earthly ships will ever bring him home again

Bring him home again

My lover’s gone

I know that kiss will be my last

No more his song

The tune upon his lips has passed I sing alone

While I watch the ocean

My lover’s gone

No earthly ships will ever bring him home again

Bring him home again

I dream of rain

I dream of gardens in the desert sand

I wake in pain

I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of rain

I lift my gaze to empty skies above

I close my eyes, this rare perfume

Is the sweet intoxication of her love

Sweet desert rose

This memory of Eden haunts us all

This desert flower, this rare perfume

Is the sweet intoxication of the fall

(Engel)
