00:00She rode her horse as she did evening along the isolated beach

00:10But a storm with a springtide crept around them and swept them both out of reach

00:20She found a cave to seek some refuge, but a rolling wave snatched her away

00:31She cried for help, but no one heard her, and just the sea could hear her say

00:42Mourn not my face, but let me be secure

00:52In this lone cavern by the sea

00:58Let the mighty ocean roar

01:03And kiss my lips forevermore

01:12Her lover searched, but he could not find her

01:20There was no trace anywhere

01:24He sensed a presence there beside him

01:31And left a memory of her there

01:35He carved an image of her beauty

01:40On the walls of that eerie cave

01:46And underneath he wrote a poem

01:52For here was her lonely grave

01:57Mourn not my face

02:02But let me be secure

02:07In this lone cavern by the sea

02:13Let the mighty ocean roar

02:18And kiss my lips forevermore

02:23When people pass this sanctuary

02:39And read the poem carved inside

02:44The words ring out

02:46The words ring out like a ghostly echo

02:51That carry out on the ocean tide

02:55Mourn not my face

03:00Mourn not my face

03:02But let me be secure

03:05In this lone cavern by the sea

03:08In this lone cavern by the sea

03:12Let the mighty ocean roar

03:16And kiss my lips forevermore

03:18And kiss my lips forevermore

03:23In this credit

03:39Amen
