Songtexte On the Waterfront - Leon Russell

On the shore I look and see
Lights from far away come back to me
From this very place where we once stood
With your hand in mine and life was good
That was yesterday, now all the lights are gone
And I′m here alone, I'm just hanging on
I still think of you every night and day
And I try to think of words to say
That would bring you back inside my life
But the pain is strong, it hurts me like a knife
Well there is no use living inside this dream
On the waterfront
They say that life goes on but I′m not so sure
Can I make the grade, can I endure
When I'm here alone on these lonely nights
On the waterfront
On the shore I look and see
Lights from far away come back to me
From this very place where we once stood
With your hand in mine and life was good
And I try to think of words to say
That would bring you back inside my life
But the pain is strong, it hurts me like a knife
Well there is no use living in this dream
On the waterfront
On the waterfront
