Paul Kelly
Down on the Jetty
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
