Lyrics On the Waterfront - Leon Russell

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
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
On the waterfront
