[Intro] [Verse 1] Through a cloudy haze on the sunlit sea We waved them away from the southern quay Seventeen hands but the one in charge Was one fine man from the Bayou Sauvage [Verse 2] "Mon cher Simeon keep safe" says I I try not to show him the tear in my eye I said "My love I’ll wait for you" Farewell sweet boy from the wide bayou [Chorus] Where does the ocean go?   Should I let it take me?   Any second they may wake me   Does anybody know? Where does the ocean go? [Verse 3] I knew back then as I always known That sailors pray as the trade winds blow But the ship went down off the coast of Spain I read the letter and felt his pain [Chorus] Where does the ocean go?   Should I let it take me?   Any second they may wake me   Does anybody know? Where does the ocean go? [Verse 4] Some days I walk on the harbor side And I watch the sea and the rising tide And I see him there like a sad mirage My lost man in a Monde Sauvage [Chorus] Where does the ocean go?   Should I let it take me?   Any second they may wake me   Does anybody know? Where does the ocean go? [Outro] Does anybody know? Where does the ocean go?
