(Waiting for the) Nightboat
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.
Standing on the edge of the quay
no lights flashes on the water for me
Fog in my mind, darkens in my eyes
silently screaming for a distant sound
Ripple river yellows
rising for a breath of breeding and drowns
Stillness overcomes me in the night
Listen... to the rising water moan
I'm waiting…
waiting, for the Nightboat
I'm waiting…
waiting, for the Nightboat
Shadows all through me, shudder away
echoes me, echoes me...
Am I alone, or is the river alive?
'cause it echoes me, echoes me, echoes me...
I'm waiting…
waiting, for the nightboat
I'm waiting…
waiting, for the nightboat
Waiting... (I'm waiting)
waiting for the nightboat…
I'm waiting... (I'm waiting)
waiting for the nightboat...
Waiting, for the nightboat
I'm waiting…
waiting for the nightboat...
I'm waiting for the nightboat...
