Adrian Snell - By The Waterfront lyrics

I can see the mist begin to rise Feel the cool rain on my face today Hear the rolling waves and seagull cries Just close my eyes And You're standing by the waterfront And calling out my name But somehow in the morning light You don't quite look the same Though last night when I heard You speak It seemed to ease my pain It seemed to ease my pain Can't You wait just half an hour While I tell my friends goodbye? Can I go tell my brothers That they have no need to cry Boats are moving gently with the sea The wind in the rigging makes familiar sounds And though I understand I just don't see Does it have to be me? Still, I'll put aside my fishing nets And all the things I've ever known And I'll take a chance on losing Everything I call my own Still, I'll put aside my fishing nets And all the things I've known And I'll take a chance on losing Everything I own Still, I'll put aside my fishing nets And all the things I've ever known If following the way You lead Will finally bring us home
