I stood on the rock of
lauralee
silently looking out
to sea

could hear the howling
of the wind
as it came rushng round
the bend

watched your ship sail
out to sea
leaving the port of
lauralee

each day I return to
view
looking at the sea so
blue

scanning the horizon, no
ship in sight
perhaps a phantom in the
night

today I'm standing here
again
watching your ship rounding
the bend

catching you in the misty
air
my heart leaped to meet
you there

once more invited home
with me
standing on the rock of
lauralee.
