Down On The Pier

I see you say to yourself

You're causing yourself your own misery

Playing the game of minds

Expecting to find out how it should be

I think you should know

As much as it shows that baby I see

But I'm here down on the pier

You're never here, there's no one but me

Down on Cumberland words

Just wander through friends and then back to me

While still in Heartbreak Hotel

Diana and Estelle look out for the breeze

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

Then I'm here down on the pier

But 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 a 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
