Lyrics
Small window, yellow light One ticket for tonight The clerk says one more sailing Lights are on, the sea is waiting Buy a ticket, cross the water Last boat leaving, I will go Buy a ticket, cross the water Soft lights on the harbour glow Stamp and paper, warm and small Rain along the harbour wall Engines hum beneath the pier The other shore is getting near Buy a ticket, cross the water Last boat leaving, I will go Buy a ticket, cross the water Soft lights on the harbour glow One more sailing One more sailing Take me over, slow Buy a ticket, cross the water Last boat leaving, I will go Buy a ticket, cross the water Soft lights on the harbour glow
