With Open Arms

She waits with open arms
Down by the river where the boats come in
And when the boats come in
She runs to me with open arms

Although I'm on the shore
My heart is still a hundred miles at sea
We kiss, then suddenly
My heart belongs to her once more

All night I hold her tight
We kiss until the dawn
Then when the fishing boats
Go out again, I'm gone, gone away and

I pray all through the day
That she will wait until my boat comes in
And when my boat comes in
She'll run to me with open arms
