Forever Lost

(Verse 1) In a village by the sea, where the winds wailed mournfully, Lived a Viking bold, with dreams of glory at sea. His wife, with tears in her eyes, bid him farewell, As he sailed into the unknown, his fate to unveil. (Chorus) Oh, the sailor's wife, with heart heavy as stone, Waited and prayed for her love to come home. But the years passed by like a cruel, relentless tide, And hope slowly faded, like stars at eventide. (Verse 2) Twenty years had come and gone, tales of his demise were told, His wife, with a heavy heart, found solace in another's hold. Their children grew, knowing naught of their father's face, For another man had taken his stead, in his empty place. (Chorus) Oh, the sailor's wife, with heart heavy as stone, Found love anew, though she felt so alone. And the children laughed and played, with joy in their eyes, Never knowing the truth beneath their mother's lies. (Bridge) Then one fateful day, when the sun hung low in the sky, The long-lost sailor returned, with a tear in his eye. He watched from afar, as his family embraced, Knowing he could never reclaim what time had erased. (Bridge) Then one fateful day, when the sun hung low in the sky, The long-lost sailor returned, with a tear in his eye. He watched from afar, as his family embraced, Knowing he could never reclaim what time had erased. (Verse 3) With a heavy heart, he turned away, into the setting sun, His journey over, his battles fought, his dreams undone. He walked into the horizon, where the sea meets the sky, Leaving behind a life he lost, with a silent goodbye. Leaving behind a life he lost, with a silent goodbye. (Chorus) Oh, the sailor's wife, with heart heavy as stone, Knew not of the shadow, that had silently grown. And the children lived on, in their blissful unaware, As their father watched over them, from a distance, in despair. (Outro) So the sailor wanders now, a ghost of what once was, His love eternal, though fate dealt him a heavy loss. In the twilight of his days, he sails into the night, Forever haunted by the echoes of his shattered plight.
