Stranger On the ShoreThe DriftersMusic by Mr. Acker BilkWords by Robert MellinPeaked at # 73 in 1962This is a vocal cover of the instrumental by Mr. Acker Bilk's #1 two months earlier. Andy Williams also covered it at the same time to # 38.It was used as the title tune of a British TV show.Here I stand, watching the tide go outSo all alone and blueJust dreaming dreams of youI watched your ship as it sailed out to seaTaking all my dreamsAnd taking all of me The sighing of the waves The wailing of the wind The tears in my eyes burn Pleading, "My love, return"Why, oh, why must I go on like this?Shall I just be a lonely stranger on the shore? The sighing of the waves The wailing of the wind The tears in my eyes burn Pleading, "My love, return"Why, oh, why must I go on like this?Shall I just be a lonely stranger on the shore?
