i'm waiting for ships that never come in

i'm waiting for ships that never come in

watching and waiting in vain

it seems that life's stormy sea

holds nothing for me

but broken dreams and shattered schemes

with each day of sorrow i love to pretend

one more tomorrow and waiting will end

i'm waiting for ships that never come in

i wonder where they can be

with each day of sorrow i love to pretend

one more tomorrow and waiting will end

i'm waiting for ships that never come in

i wonder where they can be
