Docklands

Papa says, there are clothes to wash
 Sister says, brush your hair
 You'll go down, to the laundromat
 Maybe your sister is there
 Father says, when you're young like this
 Things can seem, pretty bad
 Let's get out, and walk by the river
 And there are people who roam the Docklands
 And there are ships passing in the night
 And there are thousands of things that I have dreamed
 Gone in the daylight
 Sister says, hold your head up high
 Life goes on, so don't be afraid
 Keep your defenses, but don't shut the loving out
 You got to learn to carry that weight
 And all the people who roam the Docklands
 And all the ships passing through the night
 And there are thousands of things that I have dreamed
 Gone in the daylight
 Sometimes I feel like I'm in a foreign land
 And there's a mirror I'm looking through
 Lost in the place where I was born
 Without a hand to hold on to
 Hold on (hold on)
 Hold on (hold on)
 In the Docklands where I was born
 People keep moving to and fro
 Everybody's pushing, trying to make it happen
 I, beg of you (I) I beg of you (l) I beg of you
 ♪
 I miss you, more than I thought I could
 I need you, more than you know
 I was therel, when they took you away from me
 I'll be there, when they let you go
 And then the people who roam the Docklands
 And all the ships passing in the night
 And the thousands of things that I have dreamed
 Stay in the daylight
 Sometimes I feel like I'm in a foreign land
 And there's a mirror I'm looking through
 Well, bring me back to the place where I was born
 Without a hand to hold on to
 Give me your hand
 Give me your hand
 (Give me your hand)
 Give me your hand in the Docklands
 I beg of you, give me your hand
 In the Docklands
