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 waiting for the agony to stop

Oh, let the happiness in



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 sky to open up

And let the happiness in



Oh, let the happiness in



Oh, let the happiness in

'Cause it's coming

Coming home



Let the happiness in



Oh, let the happiness in

'Cause it's coming

Coming on, calling home



Oh, let the happiness in



'Cause it's coming, coming home



Oh, let the happiness in
