Standing...

on the edge of the quay

no lights flashing

on the water for me

fog in my mind

darkens in my eyes

silently screaming

for a distant sound

ripple river yellow--

rising for a breath

of breeding and drowns

stillness overcome me

in the night



listen...

to the rising water moan



I'm waiting

waiting, for the nightboat

I'm waiting

waiting, for the nightboat



Shadows all through me

shudder away

echo me, echo me...

am I alone,

or is the river alive?

cuz it echoes me, echoes me--

echoes me...



I'm waiting

waiting, for the nightboat

I'm waiting

waiting, for the nightboat



I'm waiting...

waiting for the nightboat..

I'm waiting...

waiting for the nightboat....



I'm waiting for the nightboat.
