Down To The Waterline

Dire Straits

Sweet surrender on the quayside 
You remember we used to run and hide 
In the shadow of cargoes I take you one time 
And we're counting all the numbers down to the waterline 

Near misses on the dogleap stairways 
French kisses in the darkened doorways 
A foghorn blowing out wild and cold 
A policeman shines a light upon my shoulder 

Up comes a coaster fast and silent in the night 
Over my shoulder all you can see are the pilot lights 
No money in our jackets and our jeans are torn 
Your hands are cold but your lips are warm 

She can see him on the jetty where they used to go 
She can feel him in the places where the sailors go 
When she's walking by the river and the railway line 
She can still hear him whisper 
Let's go down to the waterline
