David Sylvian - Let the Happiness In lyrics

rate me

I'm waiting on the empty docks

Watching the ships come in

I'm waiting for the agony to stop

Oh, let the happiness in

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

The cold December Sun

A cold that blisters

The hands of a working man

Wasted

I'm waiting on the empty docks

Watching the ships roll in

I'm longing for the agony to stop

Oh, let the happiness in

Oh, let the happiness in

Listen to the waves against the rocks

I don't know where they've been

I'm waiting for the skies to open up

And let the happiness in

Oh, let the happiness in
