in the morning I can see
boats sail the harbor
and I can hardly wait
you are coming back to me
back from the endless sea
and I can hardly wait
soon you'll climb up the hill
your back
against the sun
and when you call my name
then I'll know that it's true
and it's really you my love
and I will jump and run
it seems forever I looked out my window
and watched waves go and come
but I knew someday you'd come to the rescue
when all was said and done
and each moment I want you
every moment I need to be
standing right here with you ever more
that is what I told you then
the day you left in the summer
if today is not the day
I'll still be waiting
waiting to learn your fate
a sailor has to love the sea
she is my true rival
but it's no use to hate
it seems forever I've stood on the widow's walk
oooo oooo
lying awake through the night for the door to knock
oooo oooo
