They ran out of daylight
The trail had gone cold
A hand on her shoulder
Was no comfort at all
Nobody knows
What happened that day
Or what became of
Old Bobby Grey
Down by the water
Down by the sea
I hear her daughter
Calling to me
Somewhere in the darkness
Oh, where she lay
Down in the water
Lies old Bobby Grey
Oh, every year now
Same place, the same time
She goes to the peer where
They said their goodbyes
Down by the harbour where
The children play
She wrapped her arms 'round him
And he sailed away
Now some say they've seen her
Sail on the horizon
But I only see her
When I close my eyes
Deep in my heart, I think
I've always known
That Bobby won't every find
Her way back home
Down by the water
Down by the sea
I hear her daughter
Calling to me
Somewhere in the darkness
Oh, where she lay
Down in the water
Lies old Bobby Grey
Ooh, down by the water
Down by the sea
I hear her daughter
Calling to me
Somewhere in the darkness
Oh, where she lay
Down in the water
Down in the water
Down in the water
Down in the water
Down in the water
