A thousand letters were wrote
Like the start of a story not meant to be told
A ships light on the horizon disappears from view
But they hold hope in their hearts that the ships will return home soon
And she waits
So she prays that the ships will return and bring him home
The seasons changed and the seas did rage
Though she grew frail he swore that nothing would change
But some people lie just to play the game
So she packed up the cards and put the game away
And she prays for a reason to believe
And she waits for an answer that she can't give
And she cries for a love that she can't find
So she prays that the ships will return and bring him home
Finally the ships light returned to the shore
Time changes people when love is at war
Home is a different place when all you knew has been replaced
And the light that you loved has sailed to a distant shore
Now he prays for a reason to believe
And he waits for an answer that she can't give
And he mourns the life that they never lived
So he prays that the ships will return and bring her home
As she prays that the ships will return and bring him home
I still pray that the ships will return and bring my love home
