Sea Of Regret
The Stanley Brothers · Other Songs - The Stanley Brothers
There is the angel you see in your dreams
And I know it must be for the way that I feel
Your only a dream girl I know your not real
When you walked away my heart went with you
You stole it from me the day that we met
And now I must live my life in sorrow
No home just a drifter on the sea of regret
The love that you promised to me on that day
Is now gone forever like the vows that you made
My heart is so empty its easy to tell
Like a ship on the ocean I'm lost without sail
