By The Waterfront Lyrics by Adrian Snell

The Early Years

0

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
