Cause she barely even knows him but if she could see inside
Everything is quiet as she waits to tell him who she is

It?s a kiss sits upon on her lips that waits for planes and battle ships
She wants to be a dancer and he has got a picture
On his wall and it?s a sailor in a new port every night
Yet man was born to trouble like sparks fly upwards innocent
