On the Waterfront - Leon Russell

On the shore

I look and see

Light from far away

Come back to me

From this very place

Where we once stood

With your hand in mine

And life was good

That was yesterday

Now all the lights are gone

And I’m here alone

I’m just hanging on

I still think of you

Every night and day

And I try to think of words to say

That would bring you back inside my life

But the pain is strong

It hurts me like a knife

Well there is no use living inside this dream

On the waterfront

They say that life goes on

But I’m not so sure

Can I make the grade

Can I endure

When I’m here alone

On these lonely nights

On the waterfront

On the shore

I look and see

Light from far away

Come back to me

From this very place

Where we once stood

With your hand in mine

And life was good

And I try to think of words to say

That would bring you back inside my life

But the pain is strong

It hurts me like a knife

Well there is no use living inside this dream

On the waterfront
