Here I stand watch -ing the tide go out,

So all a -lone and blue, Just dream -ing dreams of you.

I watched your ship as it sailed out to sea,

Tak -ing all my dreams and tak -ing all of me.

The sigh -ing of waves, the wail -ing of the wind,

The tears in my eyes burn, plead -ing, "My love ret -turn."

Why oh, why must I go on like this,

Shall I just be a -lone -ly Stran -ger On The Shore.
