Aboard his ship he stops to stare   Needs to smell her, touch her hair   Says, "I can't be without her"   Tonight he's going to be without her      "It's late now", She says   Makes her mind up goes to bed   Another night alone without him   Another night alone in Charleston      When I wake to find the solace of   All that we've become   I can't wait to make the promises   I've been leery of, take me down   Let me see      I'll be there waiting   (I'll be there waiting for you)   In the morning when times have changed   I'll be there through the lies and all   I'll be standing like a soldier for you      So you hold your secrets   Through the days when I need to be alone   (I will wait)   I will wait for you   Through the rise and fall      She was left behind so they could stay   Got to feel him this she prays   It'd make her feel so much better   I want to feel so much better      When I wake to find the solace of   All that we've become   I can't wait to make the promises   I've been leery of, take me down   Let me see      I'll be there waiting for you   (I'll be there waiting)   In the morning when times have changed   I'll be there through the lies and all   I'll be standing like a soldier for you      So you   (Hold)   Your secrets   Through the days when I need to be alone   (I will wait)   I will wait for you   Through the rise and fall      When I wake to find the solace of   All, all we've become   I can't wait to make the promises   That I've been leery of, take me down   Let me see      I'll, I'll, I'll be there   (I'll be there waiting for you)   In the morning when times have changed   I'll be there through the lies and all   I'll be standing like a soldier for you      So you   (Hold)   Your secrets   Through the days when I need to be alone   (I will wait)   I will wait for you   Through the rise and fall      (I'll be there)   I'll be there   In the morning when times when times have changed   (I will wait)   I will wait for you   Through the rise and fall
