Waterfront Blue

[Intro]\n\n[Verse]\nThe mist clings to the pier\nThe water is cold and near\nMy coffee has gone cold\nA story left untold\nI trace a line in the condensation\nLost in my own meditation\nThe streetlights start to flicker\nThe shadows getting thicker\n\n[Verse]\nYou wore a coat of gray\nWith nothing much to say\nYou saw my shaking hand\nLike you could understand\nYou slid the sugar my way\nBrightening the end of day\nA nod across the table\nA quiet, soft-lit fable\n\n[Pre-Chorus]\nThe ferry horn cries out\nWithout a single doubt\nIt echoes off the wall\nWaiting for the call\n\n[Chorus]\nIt was a velvet spark\nGlowing in the dark\nA stranger’s gentle hand\nIn this lonely land\nThe Wurlitzer plays low\nWith nowhere left to go\nThe waterfront is blue\nI’m thinking of you\n\n[Post-Chorus]\nOh, the sugar and the steam\nFloating like a dream\nSugar and the steam\nMore than it would seem\n\n[Bridge]\nShadows dance on the floor\nNear the heavy oak door\nThe wind begins to howl\nLike a phantom on the prowl\nBut I feel the glow\nOf the sugar and the snow\nThe minor chords descend\nLike a message from a friend\n\n[Solo]\n\n[Verse]\nI wonder where you went\nWith the kindness that you lent\nDid you catch the midnight boat?\nLeaving me afloat?\nIn a sea of quiet grace\nI still see your face\nThe steam begins to rise\nBefore my tired eyes\n\n[Hook]\nJust a cube of white\nTo fix the lonely night\nJust a cube of white\nEverything is right\n\n[Chorus]\nIt was a velvet spark\nGlowing in the dark\nA stranger’s gentle hand\nIn this lonely land\nThe Wurlitzer plays low\nWith nowhere left to go\nThe waterfront is blue\nI’m thinking of you\n\n[Outro]
