[Verse 1]

Oh, now sitting by the dockside, waiting by the wayside of your heart

I've been thinking for a long time, this was always better at the start

Oh, the nights grow long, the days feel wrong when you're not here

I would battle cold but the shackles hold me to the pier

[Refrain 1]

And you left me to watching the seas till you're here

[Verse 2]

When the tide came in I was wallowing, the day was growing dark

And I've no tears left for the time you spent keeping us apart

I counted the pebbles and I scoured the shore, the hope of finding something more

But the west wind won over my tears and I grew numb over the years

[Refrain 2]

You forced me to wander the sea till you're here
