Waiting for the nightingale to sing
Waiting for the harbour lights to dim
I've been on the outside lookin' in
While the widow in the window waits for him.

CHORUS 1:
But he won't be back
Can't you realize that?
And he's laughing at your sorrow

Waiting for a ship that won't come in
Waiting for a tear to reach her chin
I'm knockin', but she will not let me in.

CHORUS 2:
And he won't be back
Can't you realize that?
And he's laughing at your sorrow
How can I explain, your love is all in vain
While he wastes your precious hours
I could fill your days with flowers.

How can I replace the smile upon a face
Of a lover that I can never be
How can I begin to make you love again
And try to make you see

And he won't be back
Can't you realize that?
And he's laughing at
Your sorrow

CHORUS 1 + 2

Flowers (x10)
