Waiting for the nightingale to sing
Waiting for the harbor lights to dim
I've been on the outside lookin' in
While the widow in the window waits for him.
But he won't be back
Can't you realize 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 knockin', but she will not let me in.
But he won't be back
Can't you realize 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 a face
Of a lover that I can never be
How can I begin to make you love again
And try to make you see
That he won't be back
Can't you realize 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.
Flowers........
Flowers.....
