Verse 1
Sweet surrender on the quayside
You remember we used to run and hide
In the shadows of cargoes, I take you one time
And we're counting all the numbers
Down to the waterline
Verse 2
Near misses on the dogleap stairways
French kisses in the darkened doorways
A foghorn blowing out wild and cold
A policeman shines a light on my shoulder

Verse 3
Up comes a coaster, fast and silent in the night
Over my shoulder, all you can see are pilot lights
No money in our jackets and our jeans are torn
Your hands are cold but your lips are warm

Verse 4
She can see him on the jetty that they used to know
She can feel him in the places where the sailors go
When she's walking by the river or the railway line
She can still hear him whisper
Let's go down to the waterline, come on
