Gerry Rafferty Lyrics

"Shipyard Town" lyrics


In a dance hall by the river, I was singing in a travelling bandJust another small town night, with a silver moon shiningI remember when I saw you, that first moment when it all beganYou looked across a crowded room, and stole my heart away.
And we stood out in the moonlight, in the shadow of a factory wallMusic playing soft and low, and a gentle breeze sighingAnd the light on the river was magic, yes a magic that I still recallMoments come and moments go, but these moments still remain.
Remember how we met, down by the watersideHow easily we forget, all the love that we knew.
So we married our fortunes together, and we sealed it with a golden bandBut somewhere down along the road, we could see the flame dyingNow an exiled heart gets weary, like two strangers in a foreign landWe reached the point of no return, a long long time ago.
Remember how we met, down by the watersideHow easily we forget, all the love that we knew.
