Across the Ocean

Gone again
Across the ocean
His people call
Like the law of motion

A piece is gone
I feel its loss
A rolling stone
Gathers no moss

Sending my love
And steadfast devotion
To mijo I write
Of deepest emotion

Crying is futile
And pointless I fear
Tears fall unbidden
For no one to hear

Girl is in mourning
No lover around
If no one is witness
Does she still make a sound?

Countless attempts
To sleep in this bed
Empty and cold
Like a tomb for the dead

I wait for my boy
To no longer roam
Your girl is ready
For you to come home
