Lyrics for Shipyards by Dave Stewart and The Lake Poets from the album The Lake Poets

On a river where they used to build the boats
By the harbour wall the place you loved the most
I can see you there but all 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
But you gave away for yours as if you’d known
They will call and out
Call and out 2x

But if you could see me now
But if you could see me now
I hope that I’m making you proud
I hope that I’m making you proud 2x
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

If your smile and I

But if you could see me now 2x
I hope that I am making you proud 3x
Proud 3x
