Written by ： Acker Bilk

Here I stand watching the tide go out

So all alone and blue

Just dreaming dreams of you

I watched your ship as it sailed out to sea

Taking all my dreams

And taking all of me

The sighing of the waves

The wailing of the wind

The tears in my eyes burn

Pleading my love return

Why oh why must I go on like this

Shall I be a lonely stranger on the shore

The sighing of the waves

The wailing of the wind

The tears in my eyes burn

Pleading my love return

Why oh why must I go on like this

Shall I be a lonely stranger on the shore

Shall I be a lonely stranger on the shore
