happiness
I’m waiting on the empty docks
Watching the ships come in
I’m waiting for the agony to stop
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
Watching the ships come in
I’m waiting for the agony to stop
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
(David Sylvian, Secrets of Beehive, 1987)
