Watching the ships roll in,
Hoping that I will still be his friend, in the morning
Watching those ships roll by,
Wishing that I could move this earth, if I could,
For you I would do.
But I've got nothing to say, and I've got nothing to lay at your feet
I just keep hoping, hoping, you will be the man, that I couldn't be.
Still watching the oceans move,
If only I could show you my soul, and places I've been,
Watching the ocean curl,
And little girls playing in the sand as I walk,
Longing to listen to you talk.
But I've got nothing to say, and I've got nothing to lay at your feet
I just keep hoping, hoping, you will be the man, that I couldn't be.
