Standing on the edge of the quay
  no light flashes on the water for me
  fog in my mind darkness in my eyes
  silently screaming for a distant sound
  
  ripple river yellows
  rising for a breath of breeding and drowns
  stillness overcomes me in the night
  listen to the rising water moan
  
  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 cause it
  echoes me echoes me echoes me
  
  I'm waiting, waiting for the nightboat
  waiting, waiting for the nightboat
  I'm waiting
  I'm waiting, waiting for the nightboat
  I'm waiting for the nightboat
