Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm waitin' on the empty docks
Watching the ships come in
I'm waitin' for the agony to stop
Oh, let the happiness in
[Verse 2]
I'm watching as the gulls all settle down
Upon the empty vessels
The faded whites of their wedding gowns
The songs of hopeless selflessness
[Verse 3]
The cold December sun, a cold that blisters
The hands of a working man wasted
[Verse 4]
Ooh
Yeah
[Verse 5]
I'm waitin' on the empty docks
Watching the ships roll in
I'm longing for the agony to stop
Oh, let the happiness in
[Verse 6]
Oh, let the happiness in
Oh, let the happiness in
[Verse 7]
Listen to the waves against the rocks
I don't know where they've been
I'm waitin' for the sky to open up
And let the happiness in
Oh, let the happiness in
[Verse 8]
Oh, let the happiness in
'Cause it's comin'
Comin' on
Let the happiness in
[Verse 9]
Oh, let the happiness in
'Cause it's comin'
Comin' on
Comin' on
[Verse 10]
Oh, let the happiness in
'Cause it's comin'
Comin' on
Oh, let the happiness in
[Verse 11]
Oh, let the happiness in
Ooh
Ooh
