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
