Lyrics
Promise of the Coming Day
She lights a candle in the Plaza del Rio
Looking north from Venezuela, her love flies to the States.
Where her man works on the docks in New York's harbors
Soon he'll be following his money home, to the woman in the bungalow by the sea.
Every morning he's at work before dawn
Coiling the lines as the big freighters come and go
He pauses to watch the sun rise above the icy waters
And he smiles because he knows he's one day closer to that bungalow by the sea.
And the promise of the coming day is all he needs
His love lies over the ocean, at the edge of this sea
Many men have tried to win her hand
But her heart is captained by one man
And he'll return when the hibiscus on the cliff bloom
She waits for the light of day to lift her mood
And the promise of the coming day is all she needs
Her love lies over the ocean, at the other edge of this sea.
(solo)
Palm trees swaying in his eyes as a cold nor'easter blows
And she can see his face in the moonlight as she swims out to the shoals
And the promise of the coming day is all they need
Thier love lies together, by the sea.
