Late glow on an early winter evening in Dockland With my ship of dreams moving easily across the sound Reminiscence is weighting me down with a vengeance Tide water so deep I think Im going to drown But in the wink of an eye I am rising above the affliction In the wink of an eye I am come back in from the cold I dont even have to try and Im gone out of here without notice Gone out of Dockland without a care in the world It didnt hit me when I met you coming out of the shambles It didnt hit me when you took me to the summer field I didnt flinch when you told me that youd get what you wanted I never had what it takes to have a heart of steel But in the wink of an eye I am rising above the affliction In the wink of an eye I am come back in from the cold I didnt even have to try and Im gone out of here without notice Im gone out Dockland without a care in the world Gone out of Dockland And yes I loved you the time that is was And yes you may rip me whenever you want So it goes on a crystal clear morning in Dockland And heaven knows if Ill ever live to love again Struck down by the kiss of an angel in limbo Laid low by the act of the going But in the wink of an eye I am rising above the affliction In the wink of an eye I am come back in from the cold I didnt even have to try and Im gone out of here without notice Gone out of Dockland without a care in the world Im gone out of Dockland without a care in world
