I remember the day my love sailed out to sea,
but that was years ago; that was when he was with me.
It's never been the same again, nor will it ever be.

He told me that he'd be home before I knew,
I guess he underestimated how hard the wind blew,
Or how mighty the waves were, knocking off and drowning his crew.

And no matter what others say,
I know that there will be a day,
When you return for me and rest your head to lay.

So, I will wait until then,
Until you're home once again.
The way that it's always been…

I still wait…
It's been 50 years now.
I will wait forever more.
I know you will come home.
