Lyrics

The Docks of my Home Town
Some people say nothing good comes out of this town
 Some people say there’s no saints here to be found
 All the best ships have sank and all the bombs hit home But this city never sleeps from a resounding drone

And if the cold air ain’t getting your down
 And if your ship she ain’t running aground
 And if your heart flame is burning deep inside 
Come on get down to the docks
Of my hometown tonight 
Come on get down to the docks
Of my hometown tonight

As I walk from the Bargate to the walls
 And the call of the wild evening gulls
 There’s a light above the Western Esplanade
 Where the ferries come in on a misty haze 

And if the cold air ain’t getting your down
 And if your ship she ain’t running aground
 And if your heart flame is burning deep inside 
Come on get down to the docks
Of my hometown tonight 
Come on get down to the docks
Of my hometown tonight
