about

I don't tend to think of myself as patient, but sometimes I surprise myself.

lyrics

I'm standing by the water, looking out to sea
Beside myself with longing, nobody can help me
And I sift through all the wreckage, washed up by the tide
For a message in a bottle, from one for whom I've cried
So long
I will still be waiting here, still be waiting here,
And if ever you come back to me and seasons take you back to sea
I will still be waiting here

So many ships come sailing and I pray that there might be
Amongst the passengers and cargo, that sweet familiar face I seek
But all the hopes inspired by the funnels and the sails
Are dashed upon the rocks.
Splintered planks, broken nets, rusty nails.
I will still be waiting here...

And I know you like the charts, that never tell me where you lay
And I know you like the stars sparkling silent in the sky
And I know your sea swept eyes will always stow your heart away
Come and go, come and go, you can come and go again
I will always say these words
I will still be waiting here
