1944
Middle of the war
In the apple orchard
He saw her
Every day he’d come
Cigarettes and gum
Soon her family
And the war…and her hand was won

I’m waiting, I’m waiting
To take you back home
I’m waiting, I’m waiting
For you

Gonna move out west
Palm trees flying passed
Take a photograph
In black and white

Sitting by the sea
Watercolor dream
Listen to the swing
Dance music
In the sun

I’m waiting, I’m waiting
To take you back home
I’m waiting, I’m waiting
For you
