Shipyard Town |
| In a dance hall by the river, I was singing in a travelling band |
| Just another small town night, with a silver moon shining |
| I remember when I saw you, that first moment when it all began |
| You looked across a crowded room, and stole my heart away. |
| And we stood out in the moonlight, in the shadow of a factory wall |
| Music playing soft and low, and a gentle breeze sighing |
| And the light on the river was magic, yes a magic that I still recall |
| Moments come and moments go, but these moments still remain. |
| Remember how we met, down by the waterside |
| How easily we forget, all the love that we knew. |
| So we married our fortunes together, and we sealed it with a golden band |
| But somewhere down along the road, we could see the flame dying |
| Now an exiled heart gets weary, like two strangers in a foreign land |
| We reached the point of no return, a long long time ago. |
| Remember how we met, down by the waterside |
| How easily we forget, all the love that we knew. |
