Loving a sailor is a high price to pay; Loving him truly is hard when he is Away. Its being alone with nothing to Hold; its being young, but feeling so Old. It's having him whisper his love for you; It's whispering back you love him too. There comes a kiss & a promise for more; As his ship slowly glides away from the Shore. Reluctantly, painfully, letting him Go; While your insides are dying from wanting him So. Watching him leave with eyes full of Tears; Stand alone with your hopes, dreams & Fears. It’s sending a letter with the stamp upside Down; to a far away love in a far away Town. It's going temple to kneel & pray; & really meaning the things you say. Being in love will faster your dreams; of that far-away sailor your mind fairly beams. Days go by, no mail for a Spell; You wait for some word to hear that he’s Well. Then a letter arrives, and you’ve given in to open his letter & read it with a Grin. Yes, he is well & misses you So; & filled with the love you wanted to Know. Weeks are like months, & months are like Years; You wait for the day when you’ll have no more Fears. Days go by slowly, how many have Passed; then suddenly you realize its here at Last. Yes, Loving a sailor bitterness and fears; loneliness, sadness & despondent years. Loving a sailor isn’t much Fun; But it’s worth the price when the battle is won. And remember he is thinking of you Everyday; he's sad and he’s lonely while so far Away. So love him & miss him & hold your head High; Be strong & have faith, wipe that tear from your Eye. Your mans a seafarer, like that old ancient Trader; It’s a high price you pay for Loving A Sailor....
