DIRE STRAITS - Down To The Waterline lyrics
rate meSweet surrender on the quayside<br>You remember we used to run and hide<br>In the shadow of the cargoes I take you one time<br>And we're counting all the numbers down to the waterline<br><br>Near misses on the dogleap stairways<br>French kisses in the darkened doorways<br>A foghorn blowing out wild and cold<br>A policeman shines a light upon my shoulder<br><br>Up comes a coaster fast and silent in the night<br>Over my shoulder all you can see are the pilot lights<br>No money in our jackets and our jeans are torn<br>Your hands are cold but your lips are warm<br><br>She can see him on the jetty where they used to go<br>She can feel him in the places where the sailors go<br>When she's walking by the river and the railway line<br>She can still hear him whisper<br>Let's go down to the waterline
