Lyrics
She's standing by the waterside, she's waiting for her man
She is waiting for her man by the waterside.
On the evening wind, she hears the whistle blow
She hears the whistle blow on the evening wind, signaling his arrival.
It's coming from the factory, she hears it every day
The whistle is from the factory, a daily sound in her life.
Her soft cheeks flush, he's on his way
Her cheeks flush with anticipation as she knows he is on his way.
They're going where the sun is shining
They are heading to a place where the sun is shining.
They're going for that silver lining
They are seeking a better future, represented by the silver lining.
They're gonna work and make it pay
They plan to work hard and make their efforts pay off.
And she say 'mmm, well, one fine day
She expresses optimism, saying 'mmm, well, one fine day.'
Spread those wings, fly away'
Encourages to spread wings and fly away, suggesting a positive change.
Now I don't lie, no, cold wind and rain
The narrator emphasizes honesty, denying deception in their intentions.
Gonna sail away one fine day
They aspire to sail away one fine day, indicating a longing for a better life.
Now hope, it springs eternally
Hope is described as eternal, a constant in their journey.
At least that's what they say
Acknowledges the belief that hope persists despite challenges.
Boy, it gets hard to feel that way
Expresses the difficulty in maintaining a positive outlook amidst hardships.
When he sees his little darling hide
He notices his darling hiding tears but with a smile.
The tear with a smile
He comforts her, asking her not to cry and drawing her close.
He say 'come here baby, now don't you cry'
Reassuring his beloved, urging her to come closer and not be sad.
