Lyrics
(Pat McLaughlin / Roger Cook)

Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss
It's better my darling, I promise you this
The next time I hold you, I'm not letting go
Will you wait for me darling, I need to know

Well, you know I'm a sailor and tomorrow we sail
It's a hard way of living but I know it well
And if I surrender my life to the sea
You can marry another it's alright with me

Though we won't be together again 'til the spring
Just imagine the treasures I'll bring

Come lay with me, stay with me, soon I'll be gone
I will remember you all winter long
And when I return to the one that I miss
Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss
The sweeter the kiss

When the mornings are warm and the valleys are green
I'll come back from wherever I've been

Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss
It's better my darling, I promise you this
the next time I hold you, I'm not letting go
I will give up the ocean forever, I know
Forever I know

Simply BEAUTIFUL!

Very nice song. Reminds me Coldplay's debut (Parachute). The unsynced vocal tracks give a live touch to it.

Not a secret I love you too much. Both of you. For me, you gave iComp a sense, a meaning. You two are the living proof that magic exists, and if there is love... just go for it. 
Love you.
Maco.

This is very beautiful. 
Your voice has a lovely gravel texture and softened by the airy soft tone of Petra.
