The Heavy Blinkers - Waiting for a Riverboat Lyrics
Your perfume, as clean as the breezeDiffused in air, it hit me just like a disease, childAnd while you’re in the moors and the lochsYou watch the ocean’s hand caress the face of the rocksAnd I wander through the city at nightBlowing in the breeze like a kite on fireBut you never comeAnd I’m searching for the riverboatThey crowd ’round me and keep me from youThe sound resounded but your voice, it cut throughAnd I just cannot find the hotelI’m forgetting things I knew all so wellAnd I see the bullet holes in the churchAnd I have nothing to show for my searchAnd you never comeI’m waiting for my riverboatThread the stars together and fashion a rosaryAnd draw a bead for meAnd draw a bead for the first mysteryWhisper in my ear might calm me down someMy head’s a steel drumMy head’s a steel drum for theeA forsaken book melts in the rainA broken gate sways in the wind againAnd the rain it stains my glasses and hairFrom Millennium Bridge to Trafalgar squareAnd I wander through the city tonightFollowing the crumbs of bread like a guiding lightBut you never comeTo take me to my riverboatTake me to my riverboat
