Shipyard Town Lyrics - Gerry Rafferty

In a dance hall by the river, I was singing in a travelling band 

Just another small town night, with a silver moon shining 

I remember when I saw you, that first moment when it all began 

You looked across a crowded room, and stole my heart away. 

And we stood out in the moonlight, in the shadow of a factory wall 

Music playing soft and low, and a gentle breeze sighing 

And the light on the river was magic, yes a magic that I still recall 

Moments come and moments go, but these moments still remain. 

Remember how we met, down by the waterside 

How easily we forget, all the love that we knew. 

So we married our fortunes together, and we sealed it with a golden band 

But somewhere down along the road, we could see the flame dying 

Now an exiled heart gets weary, like two strangers in a foreign land 

We reached the point of no return, a long long time ago. 

Remember how we met, down by the waterside 

How easily we forget, all the love that we knew.
