Lyrics

NIGHTBOAT (DANSE MACABRE Version)

[Verse 1]

Standing on the edge of a quay

Low lights flashing on the water for me

Fogging my mind darkens in my eyes

Silently streaming for a distant sound

Ripple river yellows

Rising for a breath of breeding and drowns

Stillness overcomes me in the night

Listen to the rising water moan

[Chorus]

I'm waiting

Waiting for the night boat

I'm waiting

Waiting for the night boat

[Verse 2]

Shudders all through me shudder away

Echo me, echo me

Am I alone or is the river alive?

'Cause it echoes me, echoes me, echoes me

[Chorus]

I'm waiting

Waiting for the night boat

I'm waiting

Waiting for the night boat

[Bridge]

Waiting

Waiting for the night boat

I'm waiting

Waiting for the night boat

Waiting for the night boat, woo

I'm waiting

Waiting for the night boat

[Outro]

I'm waiting for the night boat
