Come Back, Darling

Wish that there were not an ocean
Wish there was no time
Wish I had a little more
With that girl of mine

Love's no deeper than an ocean
And it fades with passing time
But memory gives it life and meaning
That can last a whole lifetime

Come back, darling
I will be here every morning
Come back, darling
I have only [but to wait?]

In so many songs of old
Women wait alone
Waiting for the one they love
Until he comes back home

Now I am not a man of ore
Nor of the sea trade
But in a world of loss and love
In that I can relate

Come back, darling
I will be here every morning
Come back, darling
I have only [but to wait?]
