Waiting for the nightingale to sing Waiting for the harbour lights to dim I've been on the outside lookin' in While the widow in the window waits for him. R1: 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. R2: And 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. Of a lover that I can never be How can I begin to make you love again And try to make you see And he won't be back Can't you realize that? And he's laughing at Your sorrow R1: But he won't be back... R2: And he won't be back... Flowers (10x)
