Late glow on an early winter evening in Dockland

with my ship of dreams moving easily across the sound

Reminiscence is weighting me down with a vengeance

tide water so deep I think I'm going to drown



But in the wink of an eye I am rising above the affliction

In the wink of an eye I am come back in from the cold

I don't even have to try and I'm gone out of here without notice

gone out of Dockland without a care in the world



It didn't hit me when I met you coming out of the shambles

It didn't hit me when you took me to the summer field

I didn't flinch when you told me that you'd get what you wanted

I never had what it takes to have a heart of steel



But in the wink of an eye I am rising above the affliction

in the wink of an eye I am come back in from the cold

I didn't even have to try and I'm gone out of here without notice

I'm gone out Dockland without a care in the world

gone out of Dockland



And yes I loved you the time that is was

and yes you may rip me whenever you want



So it goes on a crystal clear morning in Dockland

and heaven knows if I'll ever live to love again

Struck down by the kiss of an angel in limbo

laid low by the act of the going



But in the wink of an eye I am rising above the affliction

in the wink of an eye I am come back in from the cold

I didn't even have to try and I'm gone out of here without notice

gone out of Dockland without a care in the world

I'm gone out of Dockland without a care in world
