Lyrics:

Music by Mr. Acker Bilk/Words by Robert Mellin


Here I stand, watching the tide go out
So all alone and blue
Just dreaming dreams of you

I watched your ship
As it sailed out to sea
Taking all my dreams
And taking all of me

The sighing of the waves
The wailing of the wind
The tears in my eyes burn
Pleading, 'My love, return'

Why, oh, why must I go on like this?
Shall I just be a lonely
Stranger on the Shore?

The sighing of the waves
The wailing of the wind
The tears in my eyes burn
Pleading, 'My love, return'
Why, oh, why must I go on like this?
Shall I just be a lonely
Stranger on the shore?
