At The End Of The Pier

At the end of the pier I watched the gulls fly So far up above in the beautiful sky, And there where I stood I watched dreams passing by And I tried to catch one in my hand. At the end of the pier I watched the ships sail I felt so alone as I leant on the rail, The hazy horizon was pallid and pale, And my heart remained there on the land. At the end of the pier I watched the seashore Like hope waves were rising then falling once more, As sunlight did shine and the strong winds did roar I just saw them all crash on the sand. At the end of the pier I waited for you The waters before me were so clear and blue, But as I looked out on this wonderful view I did cling to my love by a strand.
