Waiting for the night time gale to sing

Waiting for the harbour lights to dim

I've been on the outside looking in

While the widow in the window waits for him



But he won't be back

Can't you realise that?

And he's laughing at your sorrow



Waiting for a ship that won't come in

Waiting for a tear to reach her chin

I'm knocking but she will not let me in



And he won't be back

Can't you realise that?

And he's laughing at your sorrow.



How can I explain your love is all in vain

While he wastes your precious hours

I could fill your days with flowers.



How can I replace the smile upon the face

of a lover that I can never be.

How can I begin to make you love again

I tried to make you see.



That he won't be back

Can't you realise that?

And he's laughing at your sorrow.



No he won't be back

Can't you realise that?

And hes laughing at your sorrow.



How can I explain that your love is all in vain

While he wastes your precious hours

I could fill your days with flowers..

Flowers.....
