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 [ guitar ] 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...
