Waiting
Language: English
Down on the beach, where the tide comes in, And the ships go out to sea, I sit all day, Tho' the clouds be gray, For my love will come to me! I've waited long on the sandy shore, Where the long-billed seagulls cry, But it's naught to wait, Tho' my love is late, For she's coming by and by.
