Night Boat

Standing
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 for the nightboat
