on the edge of the quay
no lights flashing
on the water for me
fog in my mind
darkens in my eyes
silently screaming
for a distant sound
ripple river yellow--
rising for a breath
of breeding and drowns
stillness overcome 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
echo me, echo me...
am I alone,
or is the river alive?
cuz it echoes me, echoes me--
echoes me...
I'm waiting
waiting, for the nightboat
I'm waiting
waiting, for the nightboat
I'm waiting...
waiting for the nightboat..
I'm waiting...
waiting for the nightboat....
I'm waiting for the nightboat...
