watching the ships roll in

The Kooks

Watching the ships roll in
hoping that I will still be his friend
in the morning
watching those ships roll by
wishing that I could move this earth
if I could
for you I would do

I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to lay at your feet
I just keep hoping
hope that you will be the man that I couldn't be

Still watching the oceans move
if only I could show you my soul
and places I've been

watching the ocean come
and little girls playing in the sand as I walk
longing to listen to you talk

But I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to lay at your feet
I just keep hoping
hope that you will be the man that I couldn't be

I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to lay at your feet
I just keep hoping
hope that you will be the man that I couldn't be
