Down on the Pier
DI see you Gsay to youDrself
You’re Gcausing yourDself your Gown Emmisery.
DPlaying the Ggame of Dminds
ExGpecting to Dfind ‘bout Ghow it should Embe.
GI Cthink you should Gknow as Cmuch as it Gshows that Cbaby I Esee.
But I’m Dhere, Gdown on the Dpier
And Gyou’re never Dhere, there’s Gno one but Dme.
Down on Cumberland Words
Just wonder through friends and then back to me.
While still in Heartbreak Hotel,
Diana and Stell look out for the free.
The thieves all dying of shock to find that the lock does not need a key.
While I’m here, down on the pier
Not one will come near, there’s no one but me.
Uptown I still look around
I think that your face is somewhere to see.
But you, you don’t show,
I don’t think you know where I think you should be.
And after windows on end, and the hours I spend on a loneliness spree.
But I’m here down on the pier
You’re never here, there’s no one but me.
Some days I sit
And wait for the sun to come down to me.
While plaster breaks overhead and falls in my bed
Where I wish you could be.
I’m trying to think of the tune that ran through my mind while I walked by the sea.
But I’m here down on the pier
You’re never here, there’s no one but me.

Down on Cumberland Words

Just wonder through friends and then back to me.

While still in Heartbreak Hotel,

Diana and Stell look out for the free.

The thieves all dying of shock to find that the lock does not need a key.

While I’m here, down on the pier

Not one will come near, there’s no one but me.

Uptown I still look around

I think that your face is somewhere to see.

But you, you don’t show,

I don’t think you know where I think you should be.

And after windows on end, and the hours I spend on a loneliness spree.

But I’m here down on the pier

You’re never here, there’s no one but me.

Some days I sit

And wait for the sun to come down to me.

While plaster breaks overhead and falls in my bed

Where I wish you could be.

I’m trying to think of the tune that ran through my mind while I walked by the sea.

But I’m here down on the pier

You’re never here, there’s no one but me.
