Down by the harbour with my back to the land
I felt my feet sink down in the sand
Down by the harbour standing all alone
I felt my heart grow heavy as a stone
L watched the swans in diesel river
And struck a match and watched it burn against the night
I almost prayed
I almost prayed
I almost prayed
I traced my steps back through the night
Back through the day all the way to the light
Boats full of cargo ready to unload
Arms of the cranes all ready to hold
L watched the swans in diesel river
And struck a match and watched it burn against the night
I almost prayed
I almost prayed
I almost prayed
Back in the same place but everything's changed
I walk the same roads but they'e not the same
Back by the harbour with my back to the land
Block out the sadness with the palm of my hand.
L watched the swans in diesel river
And struck a match and watched it burn against the night
I almost prayed
I almost prayed
I almost prayed
