Can you hear my love is calling
Across a stormy sea tonight
I'm a soldier of fortune
I'm a warrior of the night
Will you wait for me, my darling
Should I make it back to shore
Will God call before I see you
Will you love me evermore
Hold the line
Until I make it back to you
Hold the line
Until the sun comes shining through
I must have prayed a million times or more
Cast my mind through all the memories
From a long long time ago
Oh no
Are you really letting go
Do you see the full Moon rising
Do you dream throughout the night
Of the days I used to hold you
We made love throughout the night
Will you wait for me, my darling
Should I make it back to shore
Will God call before I see you
Will you love me evermore
Hold the line
Until I make it back to you
Hold the line
Until the sun comes shining through
I must have prayed a million times before
On my mind are all the memories
Of a long long time ago
Oh no
Are you really letting go
