Waiting for the nightingale to sing
|
Waiting for the harbour lights to dim
|
I've been on the outside looking in
|
While the widow in the window waits for him
|
|
[Chorus 1]
|
But he won't be back
|
Won't you realize that
|
He's laughing at your sorrow
|
|
Waiting for a ship that won't come in
|
Waiting for a tear to reach her chin
|
I'm knocking, but she will not let me in
|
|
[Chorus 2]
|
And he won't be back
|
Can't you realize that
|
He's laughing at your sorrow
|
How can I explain, your love is all in vain
|
While he wastes your precious hours
|
I could fill your days with flowers
|
|
Bridge Of a lover that I can never be
|
How can I begin, to make you love again
|
And try to make you see
|
|
[Chorus 1 + 2]
|
