Watching The Ships Roll In

The Kooks · Rak [2008]

Watching the ships roll in

Hoping that I will still be his friend

In the morning

Watching those ships roll by

Wishing that I could move this earth

If I could for you I would do



I've got nohting to say

I've got to nothing to lay at your feet

I just keep hoping, hoping you

Will be the man that I couldn't be



Still watching the oceans move

If only I could show you my soul

And the places I've been

Watching the ocean curl

And little girls playing in the sand as I walk

Longing to listen to you talk



But I've got nothing to say

And I've got nothing to lay at your feet

I just keep hoping, hoping you

Will be the man that I couldn't be



I've got nothing to say

I've got nothing to lay at your feet

I just keep hoping, hoping you

Will be the man that I couldn't be
