The Longer The Waiting

Oh the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss

It's better my darlin', I promise you this

Next time I hold you, I'm not letting go

Will you wait for it darlin'?, I need to know

Well you know I'm a sailor, and tomorrow we sail

It's hard way of livin', but i know it well

And if I surrender my life to the sea

You can marry another, and it's alright with me

Though we won't be together again till the spring

Just imagine the treasures I'll bring

Come lay with me, stay with me, soon I'll be gone

I will remember you all winter long

And when I return to the one that I miss

Oh the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss

The sweeter the kiss

(Instrumental Break)

When the mornings are warm, and the valleys are green

I'll come back from wherever I've been

Oh the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss

It's better my darlin', I promise you this

The next time I hold you, I'm not letting go

I will give up the ocean forever I know

Forever I know
