Down on the Jetty - Paul Kelly

You left me crying

Down on the jetty

You left me standing

All on my own

Your boat got smaller

Then smaller and smaller

I kept my eyes on you

'Til you were gone

«Don't sail away, don’t sail away»

Within my heart, I cried

But my words were locked away inside

And I could not turn the tide

«Don't sail away, don’t sail away»

I stood there all tongue-tied

My words all locked away inside

And I could not hold the tide

Down on the jetty

I kept on standing

Watching the moon rise

Over the bay

That moon got smaller

Then smaller and smaller

I turned my face then

And walked away
