Late glow on an early winter evening in dockland
With my ship of dreams moving easily across the sound
Reminiscence is weighting me down with a vengeance
Tide water so deep I think Im going to drown
But in the wink of an eye I am rising above the affliction
In the wink of an eye I am come back in from the cold
I dont even have to try and Im gone out of here without notice
Gone out of dockland without a care in the world
It didnt hit me when I met you coming out of the shambles
It didnt hit me when you took me to the summer field
I didnt flinch when you told me that youd get what you wanted
I never had what it takes to have a heart of steel
But in the wink of an eye I am rising above the affliction
In the wink of an eye I am come back in from the cold
I didnt even have to try and Im gone out of here without notice
Im gone out dockland without a care in the world
Gone out of dockland
And yes I loved you the time that is was
And yes you may rip me whenever you want
So it goes on a crystal clear morning in dockland
And heaven knows if Ill ever live to love again
Struck down by the kiss of an angel in limbo
Laid low by the act of the going
But in the wink of an eye I am rising above the affliction
In the wink of an eye I am come back in from the cold
I didnt even have to try and Im gone out of here without notice
Gone out of dockland without a care in the world
Im gone out of dockland without a care in world
