|
Here I stand, watching the tide go out
|
So all alone and blue
|
Just dreaming dreams of you
|
|
I watched your ship as it sailed out to sea
|
Taking all my dreams
|
And taking all of me
|
|
The sighing of the waves
|
The wailing of the wind
|
The tears in my eyes burn
|
Pleading, "My love, return"
|
|
Why, oh, why must I go on like this?
|
Shall I just be a lonely stranger on the shore?
|
|
|
|
The sighing of the waves
|
The wailing of the wind
|
The tears in my eyes burn
|
Pleading, "My love, return"
|
|
Why, oh, why must I go on like this?
|
Shall I just be a lonely stranger on the shore?
