Waterfront Lyrics by David Sylvian

Waterfront Lyrics

    On the banks of a sunset beach
    Messages scratched in sand
    Beneath a roaming home of stars
    Young boys try their hand
    A spanish harbouring of sorts
    In catalonian bars
    They were pulled from a sinking ship
    And saved for last

    On the waterfront the rain
    Is pouring in my heart
    Here the memories come in waves
    Raking in the lost and found of years
    And though i'd like to laugh
    At all the things that led me on
    Somehow the stigma still remains

    Watch the train steam full ahead
    As it takes the bend
    Empty carriages lose their tracks
    And tumble to their end
    So the world shrinks drop by drop
    As the wine goes to your head
    Swollen angels point and laugh
    "this time your god is dead"

    On the waterfront the rain
    Is pouring in my heart
    Here the memories come in waves
    Raking in the lost and found of years
    And though i'd like to laugh
    At all the things that led me on
    Somehow the stigma still remains

    Is our love strong enough?
