The evening breeze pushes the little ferry along

Lights sway on the surface of the sea

I am that woman standing at the bow

The edge of my shoes catching a bit of sea breeze

The distant city looks like a string of lights

I throw my thoughts into the water

Listening to the waves speak for me slowly

The harbor ferry slowly departs

Carrying away yesterday's unsaid words

If you were also on this same boat

Would you come sit down by my side

One horn blast cuts open the night

We are like two cities on the shore

Recognizing each other by a shimmer on the water

The harbor ferry slowly departs

Carrying away yesterday's unsaid words

If you were also on this same boat

Would you come sit down by my side

The ferry docks and the wind comes to rest

I step off the boat and set the story down
