Shipyards

On the river where they used to build the boats
By the harbour wall, the place you loved the most
I can see you there alone but oh, you know
I’ll be there soon
All your life you worked your fingers to the bone
You worked hard for every little thing you owned
That you gave away for years if you’d known
They’d be calling out
Calling out
Calling out
If you could see me now
If you could see me now
I hope that I’m making you proud
I hope that I’m making you proud
I hope that I’m making you proud, proud
Like a ship you built, you’re long gone from the coast
Where you are and where we go, we’ll never know
On a ship you built that’s where I see you most
With your smiling eyes
With your smiling eyes
With your smiling eyes
If you could see me now
If you could see me now
I hope that I am making you proud
I hope that I am making you proud
I hope that I am making you proud, proud
Proud
Proud
