In the bay again

from Fingers in my Pocket by Robin Auld

lyrics

I went down to the harbour, it all looked the same
no-one enquired as to my business, they all knew my name
I looked back to the shoreline, dreamed a little dream of you
can’t say I had something better to do
And I’m in the bay again, yes I’m in the bay again
there’s no need to explain, I’m in the bay again
seems like you’re the only thing that’s changed
and I’m in the bay again.
The cobblestones trash the suspension, I guess that’s part of the charm
since I lost my transportation, walking does me no harm
Picked out a fish for the fry-pan, didn’t need one big enough for two
but if I remember rightly, seafood never suited you
And I’m in the bay again, yes I’m in the bay again
there’s no need to explain, I’m in the bay again
seems like you’re the only thing that’s changed
and I’m in the bay again.
Went down again in the evening, to catch me a squid off the wall
the company was agreeable, I hardly thought of you at all
Nobody ventured an opinion, except for Lazy-eye Ed
“See you’re in the bay again”, well, that was all he said.
And I’m in the bay again, yes I’m in the bay again
there’s no need to explain, I’m in the bay again
seems like you’re the only thing that’s changed
and I’m in the bay again.
