For seven days and seven nights
She walked among the shifting tides
She waited till her hope ran dry
And turned to blue and gray
He left in morning early June
To cheers and smiles upon the dunes
They all believed it would be soon
When victory found a way
But the storm was strong and the waters fierce
No mercy found for sailors here
They left in morning early June
And gave their lives away
She met him in the market square
When hearts were young and dreams were fair
She knew right then that she would marry him
In June one day
The day was bright, the sea was still
When through their smiles they said I will
But laughter lasts as long as silt
When met with ocean waves
For the storm was strong and the waters fierce
No mercy found for sailors here
He left in morning early June
And still she waits away
Now if you travel here in June
And walk among the shifting dunes
You'll find her stone where flowers bloom
And still she waits away
For the storm was strong and the waters fierce
No mercy found for true love here
He left in morning early June
And still she waits away
