Arabesque - Don't Wait for a Sailor lyrics

My seafaring man He called me tonight To say, "Please be waiting Till I hold you tight" His voice was not clear But he said it might Be due to long distance He loved me alright Oh, don't wait for a sailor Whatever he'll say You'll find all his phrases In any old play Oh, don't wait for a sailor On the ocean of life Be gladly his lover But never his wife I think he is drinking He calls from a bar Tonight from an island That's named Zanzibar He's sailing in August Comes home in July May be Christmas evening For one kiss goodnight Oh, don't wait for a sailor Whatever he'll say You'll find all his phrases In any old play Oh, don't wait for a sailor On the ocean of life Be gladly his lover But never his wife If he says one day: "I'm coming home to stay" Don't you worry He's going back tu the sea (Don't you warry) (He's going back) Oh, don't wait for a sailor Whatever he'll say You'll find all his phrases In any old play Oh, don't wait for a sailor On the ocean of life Be gladly his lover But never his wife Oh, don't wait for a sailor Whatever he'll say You'll find all his phrases In any old play Oh, don't wait for a sailor On the ocean of life Be gladly his lover But never his wife
