Standing
On the edge of the quay
No light flashes on the water for me
Fog in my mind darkens in my eyes
Silently streaming for a distant sound
Ripple river yellows
Rising for a breath of breeding and drowns
Stillness overcomes me in the night
Listen to the rising water moan

I'm waiting
Waiting for the night boat
(Whoa)
I'm waiting
Waiting for the night boat

Shutters all through me shutter away
Echo me, echoe me (echo me)
Am I alone or is the river alive
'Cause it echoes me, echoes me, echoes me

I'm waiting
Waiting for the night boat
(Whoa)
I'm waiting
Waiting for the night boat

Waiting (waiting)
Waiting for the night boat
(Whoa)
I'm waiting (waiting)
Waiting for the night boat

Waiting for the night boat (woah)
I'm waiting
Waiting for the night boat
I'm waiting for the night boat
