By the Quayside Lyrics by Tide Lines (SCT)

Glasgow Love Story

2025

[Verse 1]
\nOh, the bridge is quiet and the water's still
\nAs you turn your face from the bitter chill
\nWatching ghosts of ships you saw
\nSet sail down the Broomielaw
\nLong hours and the work was hard
\nFor a teenage welder in the Fairfield yard
\nHolding onto dreams you planned
\nWalking home from the Barrowland
\n
\n[Pre-Chorus]
\nOh, you can see it now
\nAs sure as I can see the river
\nUntil the cold wind blows it all away
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nWalkin' by the quayside, that's when I heard you say
\nThose old abandoned shipyards never leave me
\nWalkin' by the quayside where you threw it all away
\nThose old abandoned dreams of yesterday
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nWell, singers down in Clydebank sang
\nWhile the hammers chimed and the clock tower rang
\nBlue jeans and she had it all
\nUnderneath that glitter ball
\n
\n[Pre-Chorus]
\nOh, you can see it now
\nAs sure as I can see the river
\nUntil the cold wind blows it all away
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nWalkin' by the quayside, that's when I heard you say
\nThose old abandoned shipyards never leave me
\nWalkin' by the quayside where you threw it all away
\nThose old abandoned dreams of yesterday
\n
\n[Verse]
\nShe was waiting for you on the cobbled street
\nWhere the pavements shine and the lovers meet
\nNear a bar where you met before
\nCeud mìle fàilte on the door
\nYou spoke of all you hoped to find
\nIf you ever left these streets behind
\nSailing out across the world
\nJust you and your Bonnie girl
\n
\n[Bridge]
\nOh, you can see it now
\nAs sure as I can see the river
\nUntil the cold wind blows it all away
\nAnd you can see it still
\nBecause the hope endures forever
\nUntil the cold wind blows it all away
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nWalkin' by the quayside, that's when I heard you say
\nThose old abandoned shipyards never leave me
\nWalkin' by the quayside where you threw it all away
\nThose old abandoned dreams of yesterday
\n
\n[Outro]
\nWalkin' by the quayside, that's when I heard you say
\nThose old abandoned shipyards never leave me
\nWalkin' by the quayside where you threw it all away
\nThose old abandoned dreams of yesterday\n\n
