Aboard his ship he stops to stare
Needs to smell her, touch her hair
Says I cant be without her
Tonight hes going to be without her

Its late now, she says
Makes her mind up goes to bed
Another night alone without him
Another night alone in charleston

When I wake to find the solace of
All that weve become
I cant wait to make the promises
Ive been leery of

Ill be there waiting for you
In the morning when times have changed
Ill be there through the lies and all
Standing like your soldiers
You hold your secrets
Through the days when I need to be alone
I will wait for you
Through the lies and all

She was left behind so they could stay
God to feel him this she prays
It would make her feel so much better
I want to feel so much better
