Here I stand watching the tide go out
So all alone I stand just dreaming of dream of you
I watched your ship as it sailed out to sea
Taking all my dream and taking all my hope
The sighing of the waves
The wailing of the wind
The tears in my eyes burn
Pleading my love return
Oh why, oh why must I go on like this
Will I only be a lonely stranger on the shore
Instrumental
The sighing of the waves
The wailing of the wind
The tears in my eyes burn
Pleading my love return
Oh why, oh why must I go on like this
Will I only be a lonely stranger on the shore
The stranger on the shore
Stranger on the shore
Stranger on the shore
