Dock No. 9

At dock no. 9 lies a ship proud and tall I stand in the crowd waving goodbye to all The gangway goes up I feel such a fool The tears fill my eyes like rain in a pool What's it like to lose an angel What's it like to lose a dream It's like dying whilst still living A drowning soul caught in a stream My angel appears at the rail is she waving No, I'm only deceiving the dream I've been saving The colors come down like a rainbow from you But they're only crepe paper red, green and blue What's it like to lose an angel What's it like to lose a dream It's like dying whilst still living A drowning soul caught in a stream Is falling in love just an illusion Like a magician sowing the seed of confusion When you think you've found love All that's left is the dove Who flies off to Neverland The ship pulls away now it's the tugboat's command The note that she left me is still in my hand The love that I gave couldn't keep you it seems Here at dock no. 9 I stand with my dreams What's it like to lose an angel What's it like to lose a dream It's like dying whilst still living A drowning soul caught in a stream What's it like to lose an angel What's it like to lose a dream It's like dying whilst still living A drowning soul caught in a stream
