[Verse 2 – male baritone, comforting] I asked the cause of all her pain, She dried her tears and spoke again: [Female alto, old time folk, nasal mountain folk voice, piercing and raw] The day my love made me his bride, He climbed this cliff, then leapt and died. [Chorus 1 – full band] [female alto, piercing and raw, melancholy] I hear my love’s voice and feel his kiss, There’s a hole in the world where he used to be, Soon I shall dive into the abyss, And spend with my love eternity. [Short melodic interlude with piano and Travis-picked acoustic guitar and accordion accents] Verse 3 – male baritone] I took her hand and begged her stay, Sweet maid, turn back from grief this day, The tide is cruel, the rocks are deep, And love is not found in deathly sleep. She looked on me with tender grace, The wind blew pale across her face, [Female alto, mournfully] No earthly dawn can comfort me, While he lies cold beneath the sea. [Pre chorus – male baritone, full band, intense music slowing down to a softer style] So I left her there where wild waves cried, With her veil like foam at the cliff’s high side, And when I turned by the bending lea… There was no maid left… by the sea. [Chorus 2 – male baritone, restrained emotion, resolute] I heard her love’s voice upon the spray, There was a hole in her heart where he used to be, But now where the gulls rise white and grey, She walks with her love for eternity. [Outro refrain, fade out, ending]
