LOVING A SAILOR

LOVING A SAILOR
Loving a sailor is a high price to pay
Loving him truly is hard when hes away
Its being alone with nothing to hold, its being young, yet feeling so old
Its having him whisper his love for you, its whispering back that you love him too
There comes a kiss and a promise for more, as his ship slowly pulls away from the shore
Reluctantly, painfully, letting him go
While your insides are dieing ffrom wanting him so
Watching him leave with eyes full of tears
Standing alone with your hopes, dreams, and fears
Its sending a letter with the stamp upside sown
To a far away love in a far away town
Days go by slowly, how many have passed?
Then suddenly you realize its here at last
Remember hes thinking of you everyday
Hes sad and hes lonely while so far away
So love him and miss him and hold your head high
Be strong and have faith, wipe that tear from your eye
Your mans a seafarer, like that old ancient trader
Its a high price to pay for loving a sailor.
