Waiting

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.
