Waiting for the harbour lights to dim
I've been on the outside looking in
While the widow in the window waits for him
[Chorus 1]
But he won't be back
Won't you realize that
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
[Chorus 2:]
And he won't be back
Can't you realize that
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
Bridge Of a lover that I can never be
How can I begin, to make you love again
And try to make you see
[Chorus 1 + 2]
Waiting for the nightingale 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 [Chorus 1] But he won't be back Won't you realize that 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 [Chorus 2:] And he won't be back Can't you realize that 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 Bridge Of a lover that I can never be How can I begin, to make you love again And try to make you see [Chorus 1 + 2] Explain Request ×
