Lyrics:

Standing on the edge of a quay
No lights flashing on the water for me
Fog in my mind darkens in my eyes
Silently streaming for a distant sound

Ripple river yellows
Rising for a breath of breeding and drowns
Stillness overcome me in the nights
Listen to the rising water moan

I'm waiting, waiting for the night boat, woo
I'm waiting, waiting for the night boat

Shadows all through me
Shudder away, echo me, echo me
Am I alone or is the river alive?
'Cause it echoes me, echoes me, echoes me

I'm waiting, waiting for the night boat, woo
I'm waiting, waiting for the night boat

Waiting, waiting for the night boat, woo
I'm waiting, waiting for the night boat

Waiting for the night boat, woo
I'm waiting, waiting for the night boat
I'm waiting for the night boat
