[Verse 1]
Down by the docks the weather was fine
The sailors were drinking American wine

[Refrain]
And I wished I could go back to spring again

[Verse 2]
Now they're all gone, that's life moving on
Some stayed behind to get drunk on the song

[Refrain]
And they wish they could go back to spring again

[Chorus]
Oh, such a spring
Oh, such a spring
Oh, such a spring

[Verse 3]
The noise of the town, the salt in the air
It plays all around but I no longer care

[Refrain]
And I wish I could go back to spring again
[Chorus]
Oh, such a spring
Oh, such a spring
Oh, such a spring

[Bridge]
They try words
And down through the years
It all turns to tears
They don't know
But they try anyway

[Verse 4]
The clouds cleared up, the sun hit the sky
I watched all the folks go to work just to die

[Outro]
And I wished I could go back to spring again
