(1 2 3)

Like a ship on the sea, her love rose over me
Like a ship on the sea, her love rose over me
Go away, go away, let me be

Like a weepin' willow tree, her love grows over me
Like a weepin' willow tree, her love grows over me
Go 'way, go 'way, let me be
(Hauntin' me like a ship on the sea)

Standin' on the white cliffs of Dover
Lookin' out into space
Another channel to cross over
Another dream to chase

The night is dark and dreary
The wind is howling down
Your heart is hanging heavy
When your sweet love ain't around

Like a leaf on a tree, her love is shakin' me
Like a leaf on a tree, her love is shakin' me
Go away, go away, let me be
(Hauntin' me like a ship on the sea)
Like a leaf, like a ship on the sea
(Hauntin' me like a ship on the sea)

Traveling Wilburys

The Traveling Wilburys were a supergroup formed by Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison (who passed away between the first and second album), and Tom Petty. On the album, the members were credited as brothers in the fictional Wilbury family, though they changed their pseudonyms after their first album.

The group released two albums, Vol. 1 and Vol. 3. Vol. 1 netted them a Grammy award for the Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group.
