The Dock.

Lyrics

There’s a dock down the street

Where we fish and swim

I used to sit out there

And wait around for him.

 

But he just never came,

Through the sunshine and

And the changing leaves,

We always stayed the same.

 

Now I’m jumping in the waters.

I feel the coolness on my skin.

And he’s walking down the planks

Saying it’s time to begin.

 

Please don’t reach out,

I don’t want the pull of your arm.

I’ve fallen way too far

For your foolish charm.

 

But, you never came around.

I sat out here alone,

The wind and my tears

Were the only sound.

 

There’s only so many times

I can look down at these boards,

And ignore all of the outside world

While he plays me like a chord.

 

I would always bring him music,

I would always bring him sun,

Just sit and talk about his problems

Until the dawn would come.

 

But now I’m rising to a new day,

Realizing there is more

Still, I can’t forget you always.

In my heart you’ll stay.

 

Please don’t reach out,

I don’t want the pull of your arm.

I’ve fallen way too far

For your foolish charm.

 

But, you never came around.

I sat out here alone,

The wind and my tears

Were the only sound.

 

Now just stop and listen.

It shouldn’t be too hard.

You were always looking,

But I think you looked too far.

 

Please don’t reach out,

I don’t want the pull of your arm.

I’ve fallen way too far

For your foolish charm.

 

But, you never came around.

I sat out here alone,

The wind and my tears

Were the only sound.

 

There’s a dock down the road,

Where we all play and swim

And where I waited far too long,

For my life to begin.
