Lyrics Down on the Jetty - Paul Kelly

Down on the Jetty

You left me crying
Down on the jetty
You left me standing
All on my own
Your boat got smaller
Then smaller and smaller
I kept my eyes on you
'Til you were gone
«Don't sail away, don’t sail away»
Within my heart, I cried
But my words were locked away inside
And I could not turn the tide
«Don't sail away, don’t sail away»
I stood there all tongue-tied
My words all locked away inside
And I could not hold the tide
Down on the jetty
I kept on standing
Watching the moon rise
Over the bay
That moon got smaller
Then smaller and smaller
I turned my face then
And walked away
