             C#
A ship came in but it was empty
        G#                      C#
And it sailed back out to sea again.
                 C#
Now there's the sail on the horizon
           G#                        C#
and now I wait until your ship comes in.

Chorus:
             F#                            C#
And I'll be waiting in the port of lonely hearts
 G#                               C#
watchin' for your topsail on the sea.
  F#                               C#
Prayin' that my ship of love will come
        G#                                C#
To the port of lonely hearts where I will be

I'll brave the storm until you're with me
Because wind and rain can't change a love that's true
I'll be alone until you anchor and then
I'll leave this lonely port with you

Chorus:
Till then I'm waiting in the port of lonely hearts
Watching for your topsail on the sea
Praying that my ship of love will come
To the port of lonely hearts where I will be
