Sea of HeartbreakJohnny Cash

Songwriter: Hal David Paul Hampton

Producer: Rick Rubin

[Intro]
(One, two, one, two, three four)

[Verse 1]
The lights in the harbour
Don't shine for me
I'm like a lost ship
Adrift on the sea

[Chorus]
The sea of heartbreak
Lost love and loneliness
Memories of your caress
So divine how I wish
You were mine again, my dear
I'm on this sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak

[Verse 2]
Oh, how did I lose you?
Oh, where did I fail?
Why did you leave me?
Always to sail

[Chorus]
This sea of heartbreak
Lost love and loneliness
Memories of your caress
So divine how I wish
You were mine again, my dear
I'm on this sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak

[Verse 3]
Oh, what I'd give just to sail back to shore
Back to your arms once more
Come to my rescue
Oh, come here to me
Take me and keep me
Away from the sea

[Chorus]
Sea of heartbreak
Lost love and loneliness
Memories of your caress
So divine how I wish
You were mine again, my dear
I'm on this sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak

[Outro]
Sea of heartbreak
Sea of heartbreak
Sea of heartbreak

Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash (26 February 1932 – 12 September 2003) was an iconic singer and songwriter who primarily operated in the genre of country music, but was an integral figure in the popularization of rock and roll. One of the most influential musicians of the 20th century, he was inducted into the country, rock and roll and gospel Music Hall of Fame.

Known for his somber and humble stage demeanor, he almost always started his concerts with a simple “Hello, I’m Johnny Cash.”

Much of his catalog focuses on the human condition, sorrow, oppression and the hope of redemption. And his catalog is huge, rivaling that of Hank Williams Sr., David Bowie and Prince. Starting in the 50s and ending just before his death in 2003, his deep baritone voice is instantly recognized by music lovers the world over.
