Aboard his ship he stops to stare   Needs to smell her, touch her hair   Say's "I can't be without her"   Tonight he's going to be without her         "It's late now", she say's   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         I'll be there waiting for you   In the morning when times have changed   I'll be there through the lies and all   Standing like your soldiers   You hold your secrets   Through the days when I need to be alone   I will wait for you   Through the lies and all         She was left behind so they could stay   God to feel him this she prays   It would make her feel so much better   I want to feel so much better
