Lyrics Paul Kelly – Down On The Jetty

You left me crying
Down on the jetty
You left me standing
All on my own

Your boat got smaller
Then smaller and smaller
I kept my eyes on you
‘Til you were gone

«Don’t sail away, don’t sail away!»
Within my heart I cried
But my words were locked away inside
And I could not turn the tide

«Don’t sail away, don’t sail away!»
I stood there all tongue tied
My words all locked away inside
And I could not hold the tide

Down on the jetty
I kept on standing
Watching the moon rise
Over the bay

That moon got smaller
Then smaller and smaller
I turned my face then
And walked away
