Lament

[Verse 1]
Oh, now sitting by the dockside, waiting by the wayside of your heart
I've been thinking for a long time, this was always better at the start
Oh, the nights grow long, the days feel wrong when you're not here
I would battle cold but the shackles hold me to the pier

[Refrain 1]
And you left me to watching the seas till you're here

[Verse 2]
When the tide came in I was wallowing, the day was growing dark
And I've no tears left for the time you spent keeping us apart
I counted the pebbles and I scoured the shore, the hope of finding something more
But the west wind won over my tears and I grew numb over the years

[Refrain 2]
You forced me to wander the sea till you're here
