Текст пісні
There is a man upon the water
He's been lost, lost at sea
Curious just like his father
And upon the shore, awaits his queen
He writes into this empty bottle
Yea
Hoping one day she will read
All about the things that he's done
And that he's seen
And that his heart is hers
And that she was his first
Oh it's hard to believe
She'll be his last
And so he floats,
Hoping one day he'll be home
Oh, there is a man upon the water
And, He just wants to meet his daughter
Yea, to see her smile
To see her walk
To feel her touch
To hear her talk
To show her love
Oh, there is a man upon the water
He's been lost, lost at sea
Yea, curious just like his father
And upon the shore, awaits his queen
He writes into this empty bottle
Hoping one day she will read
All about the things he's done
And everything that he's seen
And that his heart is hers
But don't you ever wait on me
He says
She'll be strong like her mama
When she wakes, kiss her on the head
And tell her it's from Baba
There is a man upon the water
He's gotten old
He's gotten grey
Never thought he'd see the day
That he'd touch the land
That is his home
His only child
Oh how she's grown
The one he loves
She waited
For him
And all this time has passed
He's thinking back, he's thinking back
There was a man upon the water
And he's finally home
