Dockside Blues
guitar a cappella indie rockLyrics
[Verse]
Under the crane lights shadows toss
Cold steel whispers rusting loss
Echoes of engines once roaring loud
Now just whispers in the cloud
[Verse 2]
Chain links rattle oh the ghostly song
Silent docks where we used to belong
Feel the wind blow through the shipyard bones
Lonesome echoes on the stones
[Chorus]
Norderwerft I anchor here
Count the stars feel the fear
Norderwerft the briny air
Dock rock n roll despair
[Verse 3]
Rusty barrels broken dreams
Oil slicks and forgotten schemes
Memories drift on the waves
Industrial tombs like graves
[Verse 4]
Empty docks like a haunted tune
Cranes reach up towards the moon
Grit and grime on splintered boards
Silent screams from rusted cords
[Bridge]
Anchor down watch the tide
Broken dreams nowhere to hide
Feel the breeze in my dock
Full of ghostly timeworn talk
