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 longing for the agony to stop
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 skies to open up
and let the happiness in

oh, let the happiness in
