He's Riding the Waves Back to Me

Theres a young girl
By the seashore
With a longing in her eyes
_Don't let go she says
he's almost home she says
he's riding the waves back to me_
Out to war he's gone
To fight men he's gone
But he'll be back quite soon
_Don't let go she says
he's almost home she says
he's riding the waves back to me_
Poor young girl she waits
Long lost soul she waits
Never knowing he died so long ago
_Don't let go she says
he's almost home she says
he's riding the waves back to me_
She has long since died
That young girl she cried
_Don't let go she said
he's almost home she said
he's riding the waves back to me_
I have met my love
But he leaves me love
Tomorrow he sales out to sea
_Don't let go he says
I'll come home he says
I'll be riding the waves back to you_
Now that girl am I
By the shore wait I
With that longing in mine eyes
_Don't let go I say
he's almost home I say
he's riding the waves back to me_
Out to war he's gone
To fight men he's gone
But he'll be home quite soon
_Don't let go I say
he's almost home I say
he's riding the waves back to me_
Poor young girl I wait
Long lost soul I wait
Never knowing if he's still alive
_Don't let go I say
he's almost home I say
he's riding the waves back to me_
