Shipyards - The Lake Poets

On the river where they used to build the boats

By the harbour wall, the place you loved the most

I can see you there alone but oh, you know

I’ll be there soon

All your life you worked your fingers to the bone

You worked hard for every little thing you owned

That you gave away for years if you’d known

They’d be calling out

Calling out

Calling out

If you could see me now

If you could see me now

I hope that I’m making you proud

I hope that I’m making you proud

I hope that I’m making you proud, proud

Like a ship you built, you’re long gone from the coast

Where you are and where we go, we’ll never know

On a ship you built that’s where I see you most

With your smiling eyes

With your smiling eyes

With your smiling eyes

If you could see me now

If you could see me now

I hope that I am making you proud

I hope that I am making you proud

I hope that I am making you proud, proud

Proud

Proud
