On The Riverfront Lyrics

There's towers everywhere
They're all eight stories high
It's just a mile wide
It's just a mile wide

And on the riverfront
All I see is trash
It's just a mile high
It's just a mile high

On the riverfront
I walk along the side
Waiting for the sun
To fall down and die

There's jokers everywhere
They're making me so sad
They rest their drunken eyes
They rest their drunken eyes

And on the riverfront
All I see is me
I'm so very tired
I'm oh-so sad and tired

And I am on the riverfront
Watching people swim
Waiting for the night
To come and make my vision dim

I think that I know
That nothing here is ever gonna go
I know that I think
That no ship here is ever gonna sink

And I am on the riverfront
Hoping for the best
I can feel my heart
Beat on last time inside my chest
