Down on the Pier
I see you say to yourself
Youâre causing yourself your own misery.
Playing the game of minds
Expecting to find âbout how it should be.
I think you should know as much as it shows that baby I see.
But Iâm here, down on the pier
And youâre never here, thereâs no one but me.
Down on Cumberland Words
Just wonder through friends and then back to me.
While still in Heartbreak Hotel,
Diana and Stell look out for the free.
The thieves all dying of shock to find that the lock does not need a key.
While Iâm here, down on the pier
Not one will come near, thereâs no one but me.
Uptown I still look around
I think that your face is somewhere to see.
But you, you donât show,
I donât think you know where I think you should be.
And after windows on end, and the hours I spend on a loneliness spree.
But Iâm here down on the pier
Youâre never here, thereâs no one but me.
Some days I sit
And wait for the sun to come down to me.
While plaster breaks overhead and falls in my bed
Where I wish you could be.
Iâm trying to think of the tune that ran through my mind while I walked by the sea.
But Iâm here down on the pier
Youâre never here, thereâs no one but me.
