[Chorus]
Do you remember
Those days on the docks?
When we were children
Singing old songs?
And we'd dream
Of life to come
And we'd dream
Of a world full of love
[Verse 1]
We were open eyed
Hearts with hope inside.
Charmless children of joy
And our world belied
All we sought in life
Always full of that noise
And like Noah's ark
'Fore the rain subsides
We were sheltered from harm.
But that bottom leaked
Darkness flooded me
Lord I'm covered in scars.
[Chorus]
Do you remember
Those days on the docks?
When we were children
Singing old songs?
And we'd dream
Of life to come
And we'd dream
Of a world full of love
[Verse 2]
Oh we held on tight
To truth we couldn't find,
Lies that suited our tastes.
And I grew to love
The taste of flowing blood
Each time I fell on my face
With my broken smile
And breath like burnin bile
I was singing my praise
Till I lost it all
Hope and heart were gone
Lord I can’t take the fall
[Chorus]
Do you remember
Those days on the docks?
When we were children
Singing old songs?
And we'd dream
Of life to come
And we'd dream
Of a world full of love
[Bridge]
There was love
Ohhhhhhhhhhh
There was love
Ohhhhhhhhhhh
There was love
[Chorus]
But do you remember
Those days on the docks?
When we were children
Singing old songs?
And we'd dream
Of life to come
And we'd dream
Of a world full of love

The Statue

[Verse 1]
She stands at the harbor
Washed by the waves
Clothed in the sand
And worn by the days
A heart made of marble
Watching the ships
can't turn away
For fear she might miss...
[Chorus]
Don't come too close
Or you might see the truth
Time is hard on the soul
How she longs for the beauty of youth
[Verse 2]
She was sculpted in winter
Faded in spring
Cracked in the summer
Of yesterday's dreams
She died in autumn
Along with the trees
But here she stands
For all to see
[Chorus]
Don't come too close
Or you might see the truth
Time is hard on the soul
How she longs for the beauty of youth
[Bridge]
Ships roll in
Sailors sin
Her heart no longer beats
Lovers pine
Children cry
Oh her heart just won't beat
[Chorus]
Don't come too close
Or you might see the truth
Time is hard on the soul
How she longs for the beauty of youth
[Bridge]
Ships roll in
Sailors sin
Her heart no longer beats
Lovers pine
Children cry
Oh her heart just won't beat

What Can I Say

[Verse 1]
So what can I say?
When my heart's in the way?
And all can do
Is falling from you
And fooling around?
[Verse 2]
I wish I could love
Not this never enough.
This burning desire
This hurting inside
That burdens me down
[Chorus 1]
I'm a bad man
And I just can't
Just can't believe
Someone like me
Could ever find peace
[Verse 3]
I wish I was a child
With that innocent smile
Not this cynical grin
That laughs at my sin
While the rest of me drowns
[Chorus 1]
I'm a bad man
And I just can't
Just can't believe
Someone like me
Could ever be free
I'll never be free
[Verse 4]
Time is hard to find again
Love is harder still
I say our love got lost but then
You say it never will
[Chorus 2]
Time was never on my side
But you have always been
Every time I ran around
You brought me back again
[Verse 5]
Time is hard to find again
Love is harder still
I found a love to hold me when
My strength no longer will
[Chorus 2]
Time was never on my side
But you have always been
Every time I ran around
You brought me back again
[Chorus 3]
Time was never on my side
But you are always near
Even when I run around
Even when I'm losing ground
Even when my time runs out
I'll long for you my dear

My Love, Your Love
03:50

I’m in love with a woman, but it’s cold
I’m in love, but I wouldn’t dare to hope
Cause I’ve lied and I’ve hurt her
And I know I don’t deserve her
And my love’s got another at her side
Don’t you know who you are?
Can’t you see the way you shine?
I know I’ve put you on your guard
Because I couldn’t let down mine
As I sail away again
I leave you and your man behind
I know my love just brings you pain
So on a sinking ship I ride
I’m in love with a woman, but it’s cold
I’m in love, but I wouldn’t dare to hope
Cause I’ve lied and I’ve hurt her
And I know I don’t deserve her
And my love’s got another at her side
And this love was meant to be
Something warm and free of grief
But my love always leads, always leads
To pain
And this love was meant to be
But I’ve lost your heart at sea
And your love always leads, always leads
To life again
To life again
Don’t you know who you are?
Can’t you see the way you shine?
