" WATERFRONT STREET "  

V.1
WHEN I WAS JUST A YOUNG BOY
I USED TO DREAM OF BEING A SAILOR
THE CAPTAIN OF A TALL SHIP - SUCH ARE DREAMS
RIDING TRAMS THROUGH THE STREETS OF MELBOURNE
DOWNHILL YOU HAD TO HANG ON
AN´ NOW AND THEN
I LONG FOR THE OLD DAYS AGAIN

CHORUS:
IN THE HOUSE ON WATERFRONT STREET
WITH A GARDEN RIGHT DOWN TO THE BEACH
WHERE WE´D RUN HOME FROM SCHOOL IN BARE-FEET
TO THE HOUSE ON WATERFRONT STREET
WHERE DREAMS AND REALITY MEET
HOW I LOVED THE HOUSE ON WATERFRONT STREET

V.2 
FROM MY WINDOW I LOOKED OUT ON
A CAR-WASH LIT WITH PURPLE NEON
AND THE OCEAN ROAD I´D COME TO KNOW
AND MY BROTHER WHISPERIN´ TO ME
"WHEN I GROW UP WHAT WILL I BE ?"
I DON´T RECALL - WHAT WE DECIDED AT ALL

CHORUS: 
IN THE HOUSE ON WATERFRONT STREET
WITH A GARDEN RIGHT DOWN TO THE BEACH
WHERE WE´D RUN HOME FROM SCHOOL IN BARE-FEET
TO THE HOUSE ON WATERFRONT STREET
WHERE DREAMS AND REALITY MEET
HOW I LOVED THE HOUSE ON WATERFRONT STREET

BRIDGE: 
I REMEMBER WHEN - I WAS JUST A BOY OF TEN
IT TAKES ME BACK TO THOSE WATERFRONT DAYS ONCE AGAIN

V.3 
HOLDIN´ HANDS WITH OUR FATHER
AS HE LED US THROUGH THE GARDEN
ONTO THE BEACH - WHERE MY SISTER WOULD PLAY
AND MOMMA CALLIN´ FROM THE DRIVEWAY
"JUST BECAUSE TODAY IS FRIDAY
COME HOME BEFORE EIGHT - CHILDREN DON´T BE LATE"

V.4 
NOW THEY´VE BUILT A CITY HIGHWAY
AND THERE´S A HIGH-RISE IN THE DRIVEWAY
AND A MARINA WHERE MY SISTER WOULD PLAY
BUT IN MY MIND I STILL GO BACK THERE
BACK IN TIME TO THAT OLD HOUSE WHERE
CHILDHOOD DAYS AND MEM´RIES WILL ALWAYS REMAIN

CHORUS:
IN THE HOUSE ON WATERFRONT STREET
WITH A GARDEN RIGHT DOWN TO THE BEACH
WHERE WE´D RUN HOME FROM SCHOOL IN BARE-FEET
TO THE HOUSE ON WATERFRONT STREET
WHERE DREAMS AND REALITY MEET
HOW I LOVED THE HOUSE ON WATERFRONT STREET

TAG:
AND HOW I LOVED -  THE HOUSE ON WATERFRONT STREET
