`Twas one long year today
I left Bournemouth and you
Adventure, salt and spray
King`s service I must do
But dear Christine I hold you dearly
If only you could hear me
I send my love sincerely
In hopes that we`re not merely hanging on
At sea there`s time for thought
My head was filled with you
With quill in hand I sought
To bridge the endless blue
But dear Christine I hold you dearly
If only you could hear me
I send my love sincerely
In hopes that we`re not merely hanging on
On and on
And dear Christine I`m just a man who
Believes in dreams that come true
And if you feel like I do
When I return I`ll find you hanging on
