Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Standing on the edge of a quay
Low lights flashing on the water for me
Fogging my mind darkens in my eyes
Silently streaming for a distant sound
Ripple river yellows
Rising for a breath of breeding and drowns
Stillness overcomes me in the night
Listen to the rising water moan
[Chorus]
I'm waiting
Waiting for the night boat
I'm waiting
Waiting for the night boat
[Instrumental]
Shudders all through me shudder away
Echo me, echo me
Am I alone or is the river alive?
'Cause it echoes me, echoes me, echoes me
[Chorus]
I'm waiting
Waiting for the night boat
I'm waiting
Waiting for the night boat
[Instrumental]
Waiting
Waiting for the night boat
I'm waiting
Waiting for the night boat
Waiting for the night boat, woo
I'm waiting
Waiting for the night boat
[Outro]
I'm waiting for the night boat
