My Only My Own

Where have you gone, my only my own, how far have you flown from me?
 The work of our hands built a beautiful ship
 How could I begrudge you the sea?
 Alone, alone, my only my own -- When will you return to me?
 Alone, alone, my only my own -- When will you return to me?
 Where have you gone, my only my own,
 what faraway sights have you seen?
 Has the world become real, has your home become small
 Has your future eclipsed where you've been?
 Alone, alone, my only my own -- When will you return to me?
 Alone, alone, my only my own -- When will you return to me?
 And when you return, my only my own, bring me back tales of the sea
 Bring me pockets of gold or a shirt full of holes
 It'll make little difference to me
 Alone, alone, my only my own -- When will you return to me?
 Alone, alone, my only my own -- When will you return to me?
 When will you return to me?
 When will you return to me?
