lyrics

I wish that my baby was waiting at home,
sleeping in our bed with her nightgown on,
but she’s not there, no
Looks like I’m sleeping alone.

Wake up in the morning and I work ’til night,
want to love her long in the candle-light,
but she’s not there, no,
Looks like I’m sleeping alone.

When she’s gone in the night the air turns thin and cold,
like the little white diamonds of her long-lost soul.
No she’s not there, no,
Looks like I’m sleeping alone.

She sailed across the ocean looking for herself.
Who am I to blame her when I did as well,
oh now she’s not there no,
Looks like I’m sleeping alone.

Lay awake and wonder with a worried mind,
was it worth the heartache or just wasting time,
oh now she’s not there no,
looks like I’m sleeping alone.

When she’s gone, in the night the air turns thin and cold,
like the little white diamonds of her long-lost soul,
no she’s not there no,
looks like I’m sleeping alone.

I wish that my baby was waiting at home,
sleeping in our bed with her nightgown on,
but she’s not there no,
looks like I’m sleeping alone.
