lyrics

JOHNSON
I left a girl on the cold dunes of Shelburne
She swore she would wait through the grey winter's chill
And though I've been gone now for many a season
I tell ya for certain she waits for me still

JOHNSON
She's written me verses to prove she is faithful
I never write back but she don't feel betrayed

JOHNSON/GRACE
She keeps posting letters and swearing she loves me
Keeps holding fast to the dreams that we made

ALL
Alone, alone on the cold dunes of Shelburne
Keeps holding fast to the dreams that we made

KYLE
There's many a sailor has ventured to woo her
She spurns their advances and turns them aside

KYLE/ARI
She thinks of the beach where we used to go dancing
That's where I whispered I'd make her my bride

ALL
Alone, alone on the cold dunes of Shelburne
That's where I whispered I'd make her my bride

(Dialogue)

JOHNSON
I've anchored in Glaucester, Montego and Brunswick
But ne'er back in Shelburne by fortune or fate
I sail with her heart and unless we're borne backward
Naught she can do but remember and wait

ALL
Alone, alone on the cold dunes of Shelburne
Naught she can do but remember and
Wait for me

Alone (all alone)
All alone (all alone)
Alone

JOHNSON
Tell ya for certain she waits for me still...
