Waterfront

Your eyes were grey as the mountains in the distance
Yours were red as hazard lights
Both of us knew what we were getting into that night

You said this could be goodbye I guess
Just let sleepy dogs lie unless

We just keep on driving west
'Til we can see a whole train at once
'Til the breakers come unchristening
'Til we're walking on the waterfront
Until we're walking on the waterfront
Walking on the waterfront

My head was hazy as the mountains in the distance
Or the last of Layla fading slow
In erratic cascades on the staticky radio

You said no-one's taking my requests
Don't they recognize that I'm a mess

But if we keep on driving west
'Til we can see a whole train at once
'Til the breakers come unchristening
'Til we're walking on the waterfront
'Til we're walking on the waterfront
Walking on the waterfront
Walking on the waterfront
Walking on the waterfront
Walking on the waterfront

We'll arrive I guess
If we keep
If we keep on

If we keep on driving west
'Til we can ditch all these chains for once
That great wave we been envisioning
Comes breaking on the waterfront

And we ain't pushing west to lose
Can't no one tell us what we oughta want
Honey, I want the rest of you
With me on the waterfront
Just walking on the waterfront
Walking on the waterfront
Walking on the waterfront
Walking on the waterfront
Just walking on the waterfront
Walking on the waterfront
Just walking on the waterfront
