From the recording Telling Tales
Lyrics
Dominique, Dominique she waits by the shore,
Hoping that he will return to her.
But he won’t, no he won’t, believe me now,
He’s gone, so gone forever more, oh forever more.
Dominique, Dominique,
She screams all alone.
Hoping his ears can hear her voice,
But they don’t, no they don’t.
‘Cause he’s buried alive,
In a dark cemetery of his rival’s choice,
Oh what a sad little voice.
Dominique, Dominique,
She can feel in her bones,
That her man is drawing his final breath.
And she cries, how she cries,
As he fades away,
Floating on into his lonesome death.
Oh what a long choking breath,
Oh what a lonesome death.
