Standard (EADGBE)

A ship came in but it was empty

and it sailed back out to sea again.

Now there's the sail on the horizon

and now I wait until your ship comes in.

And I'll be waiting in the port of lonely hearts

watchin' for your topsail on the sea.

Prayin' that my ship of love will come

to the port of lonely hearts where I will be.

Guitar solo

I'll brave the storm until you're with me

Cause the wind and rain can't change a love that's true.

I'll be alone until you anchor

and then I'll leave this lonely port with you.

Till then I'm waiting in the port of lonely hearts

watchin' for your topsail on the sea.

Prayin' that my ship of love will come

to the port of lonely hearts where I will be.
