A ship came in but it was empty and it sailed back out to sea again
Now there´s the sail on the horizon and now I wait until your ship comes in

And I´ll be waiting in the port of lonely hearts watchin´ for your topsail on the sea
Prayin´ that my ship of love will come to the port of lonely hearts where I will be

I´ll brave the storm until you´re with me
Cause the wind and rain can´t change a love that´s true
I´ll be alone until you anchor and then I´ll leave this lonely port with you

Till then I´m waiting in the port of lonely hearts watchin´ for your topsail on the sea
Prayin´ that my ship of love will come to the port of lonely hearts where I will be
