Sweet surrender on the quay side  
Bm    F#m    A          E7            Bm   
You remember we used to run and hide 
       Bm                    F#m  
In the shadows of cargoes, I take you on time,
                           D           E     Bm
A Counting all the numbers down to the waterline 

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

G Bm G A Bm 

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

She can see you in the jetty where you used to go 
she can see you in the places where the sailors go 
when she's walking down the river on the railway line 
she can still hear you whisper 
Lets go down to the water line 

come on.
