| Ah they are passing passing by | C |
| Wonderful songs but born to die | C |

| Waves thrice winged with harmonies | D |
| Here I stand on a pier in the foam | E |
| Seeing the songs to the beach go home | E |
| Dying in sand while the tide flows back | F |

| Oh precious hymns that come and go | J |
| You perish and I love you so | J |
