A Woman's Touch

She's at the waterfront tonight,
 waiting for her man.
 His time in port is short
 She loves him when she can
 Alone in the misty night
 He's hungry, restless, yearning
 It's such a lonely life
 The fire is in him burning
 He's longing for a woman's touch,
 Too many months at sea.
 Longing for a woman's touch
 Eager to oblige was she
 Ai la li...
 Through his songs and his flashing eyes
 Blow the winds of the foreign lands
 But a smile and a tender touch
 Is a language she understands
 She never wanted a family,
 never wanted to be anyone's wife
 And no man ever grows tired of her
 She's the master of her own life
 And he's longing for a woman's touch
 Too many months at sea
 Longing for a woman's touch
 Eager to oblige was she
 Ai li li...
