Standing there on the sands With the letter in her hands Telling of a ship on it's way back home But there has been no news yet They should be arriving at any time now But there has been no news yet Drawing hearts with her toes Though the sun set a while ago She can't help but thinking about that ship But there has been no news yet They should be arriving at any time now But there has been no news yet There's no sound but the wind And the tide keeps rolling in Anything can happen upon the sea But there has been no news yet They should be arriving at any time now But there has been no news yet Cause he said he'd be back And she will hold him to that Who can say what's taking them all so long Still there has been no news yet They should be arriving at any time now But there has been no news yet There is no moon tonight All that's seen in the evening light Are footprints in the sands that are leading home Though there has been no news yet They should be arriving at any time now, But there has been no news yet
