i stood on the deck  all night long, all night long  watching the gangplanks  all night long, all night long  while the parties lasted  in lavish staterooms, lavish staterooms  the decks rumbling with guests  in lavish staterooms, lavish staterooms    and she sat in her cabin  the eyes fixed on the door    as the hours moved  toward dawn, toward dawn  i was convinced he survived  toward dawn, toward dawn  to know our destination  nothing remained, nothing remained  can't find our ship  nothing remained, nothing remained    and she sat in her cabin  the eyes fixed on the door    as the people waved from the pier  the lights grew small, lights grew dim  a proud ship into the current  lights grew small, lights grew dim  and i stood at the reil  for as long as i could  i've been watching the light  for as long as i could    and she sat in her cabin  the eyes fixed on the door    i knew it was almost morning  a danger close, danger close  as we sailed along the shore  perilously close, so close  as i opened up the cabin  and i looked into those eyes  i have never felt like this  as i looked into those eyes    and i said  "father won't find, we are save"
