lyrics
I came out here to disappear
where the waves fold beneath the pier
I know
it's a lonely place
with the winter night on the water's face
I know
Wharf was such a magic word
I could leave my life like a drink at the bar,
pull loose like a shell from cement
I know
put my effects in plastic bags and dump them around town,
cut the labels from my clothes
I know
Wharf was such a magic word
I stumbled over tank traps and left my watch
on the wall by The Red Lion, drank lager in The Sun
I know
I was drunk on déjà vu
I hid booze in the drawers and dreams in the walls
I know
Wharf was such a magic word
