| Sailing Tomorrow © Copyright George Papavgeris, November 2001 A sequel to “Letter home”, referring to the heightened expectations before shore leave, and the frustrations when it is time to sail again. Was it two weeks ago that I walked down the gangway Why does it feel like it was only two days Was it not yesterday I knocked upon the front door I'd never seen a sweeter smile on your face I should have shaved my beard, the baby started crying But Timmy's eyes brighter than two sunshine rays. We didn't sleep that night, the children wouldn't let us Tim had to open every box there and then The baby didn't know, but I think she could sense it She kept on waking up again and again And when at last they settled you were far too tired You went to sleep and I sat watching the rain. Perhaps I tried too hard to make up for my absence I wanted to go out, you'd rather stay at home You have to understand, I was at sea for three months 't was not much better than being locked up alone each evening saying good night to the same old faces and then good morning to the same ones at dawn. It's just two days ago it hit me that I'm leaving I couldn't get enough of you and the kids And now the time is up, too many things need saying But I just cannot get the words through my lips. So I'll sit quiet now, my eyes can do the talking And I'll just feel the warmth from your fingertips. CHORUS Don't cry girl, you know you are my pearl For you I'll beg, steal and borrow Hold me tight for the last time tonight I am sailing tomorrow. |
