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 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.
