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?
