A girl by the water, the day’s lovely daughter
Come to the day and the queen of the harbour?
Give me your hand and say that you will
Empty your suitcase out in the bay
A girl on the steps in the black velvet dress
You touched my shoulder and you left with the rest
And my eyes they followed you around the bend
And I stood here hoping you’d turn around again
And I stamp my name on you, yeah
There was nothing better to do
Our lady of laughter, sister of Jesus
Look at my face now, I can hardly believe this
There’s some people might think me absurd
Absurd, absurd, oh what a wonderful word, oh yeah
Now I stamp my name on you, yeah
It’s all I want to do
All I want to do, oh yeah
A girl by the water, the day’s lovely daughter
Come to the day and the queen of the harbour?
Give me your hand and say that you will
Give me your hand and say that you will
Give me your hand and say that you will
Give me your hand and say that you will
Give me your hand and say that you will
Give me your hand and say that you will
That you will (Give me your hand and say that you will)
That you will (Give me your hand and say that you will)
That you will (Give me your hand and say that you will)
That you will (Give me your hand)
That you (That you will)
That you (That you will)
That you (That you will)
