Watching the ships roll in
hoping that I will still be his friend
in the morning
watching those ships roll by
wishing that I could move this earth
if I could
for you I would do
I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to lay at your feet
I just keep hoping
hope that you will be the man that I couldn't be
Still watching the oceans move
if only I could show you my soul
and places I've been
watching the ocean come
and little girls playing in the sand as I walk
longing to listen to you talk
But I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to lay at your feet
I just keep hoping
hope that you will be the man that I couldn't be
I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to lay at your feet
I just keep hoping
hope that you will be the man that I couldn't be
