Lyrics
On The Waterfront
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Put their slogans on the factory wall
The lights go down, darkness falls
On the waterfront
We appear from a world of cold and steel
Discarded by the industrial wheel
On the waterfront
But down the dockland late at night
The fires of London burn so bright
No one cares, or sheds a tear
For those who live through their nights of fear
On the waterfront
We live together
On the waterfront
We stay forever
On the waterfront
They push us away, they close the door
In the part of the city that no-one saw
On the waterfront
And so we move like ghosts through a timeless zone
Through the midst of the river we call our home
On the waterfront
But down the dockland late at night
The fires of London burn so bright
No one cares, or sheds a tear
For those who live through their nights of fear
On the waterfront
We live together
On the waterfront
We stay forever
On the waterfront
On the waterfront
We live together
On the waterfront
We stay forever
On the waterfront
We appear from a world of cold and steel
Discarded by the industrial wheel
And no one cares, or sheds a tear
For those who live through their nights of fear
On the waterfront
We live together
On the waterfront
We stay forever
On the waterfront
On the waterfront
We live together
On the waterfront
We stay forever
On the waterfront
