Sea of Regret

Ricky Skaggs · Second Generation Bluegrass (w. Keith Whitley) [Rebel] [1972]

The love that you promised to me on that day

Is now gone forever like the vows that you made

My heart is so weak dear, it's easy to tell

Like a ship out on the ocean, I'm lost without sails.



When you walked away my heart went with you

You stole it from me on the day that we met

And now I must live my life in sorrow

No home, just a drifter on the sea of regret.



On the day I first saw you, my heart said to me

There is the angel you see in your dreams

And I know you must be, for the way that I feel

Your only a dream girl, I know you're not real...
