On the 17th of November 2003 Country music legend Don Gibson died. He was a great songwriter and penned such country standards as 'Sweet dreams', 'Oh lonesome me' which Neil Young (who rarely covered other peoples songs) sang on his album 'After the gold rush, 'I can't stop loving you' which has been covered by more than 700 artists including Ray Charles.
'Sea of heartbreak' was a hit record for Don Gibson in 1961, but Johnny Cash's version is darker.

'The lights in the harbor,
Don't shine for me.
I'm like a lost ship,
Adrift on the sea.'
Ok here is Don Gibson's version -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4bo4ByFhLM
