Lyrics adapted from The Crying Water (1914) by Arthur Symons
O water, voice of my heart, crying in the sand,
All night long, with a mournful cry,
As I lie and listen, I cannot understand
The voice of my heart in my side or the voice of the sea,
O water, crying for rest, is it I, is it I?
O water, crying for the rest, cry like the sea
All life long
Cry without avail
All night long
As the water
All life long
Is crying to me
All night long
Cry without avail
As the water
Is crying to me
Water cry to me
All life long
