Lyrics
she stood against the wall
as the big ship pulled away
i didnt know her at all
but there was somethin'
i wudda liked to say
but just then there came a call
& she turned & walked slowly away
it wasnt any special kinda day
in any other kinda way
the wind was raw & the sky was grey
& the rain began to fall
i somtimes go lean against the wall
& stare out over the sea
somewhere between the wind & the stars
i can hear a faint voice callin' me
