LYRICS/POETRY
She is standing on the shore
Thru the cold dark night
With nothing but a candle
Under sad starlight.

The waves caress the shore
And whisper in her ear
The memory of her husband
Thru the long and lonely years.

She stands there every night
And braves the frozen wind
Her man has not returned
And has not been seen again.

But every night she's there
Under cold starlight
Whispering his name
Thru the long and lonely night.
