Darryl Atherton - Liverpool Moonlight Lyrics

Under the soft lights of the waterfront
Balmy breeze drifts on the Mersey night
Mingle into the night life is my want
Lovers dreaming as lovers do in Liverpool Moonlight

Bright lights of Wirral silhouette the ferry
Tourists walking under the Liver Birds
Looking across the river remember Gerry
Music floats on the air band playing thirds

History of the city replayed from every building
Puts spark and spice into the night ether
Taxi pulls into the dock its passengers shedding
Driver checks and calls the fare on the meter

Under the soft lights of the waterfront
Balmy breeze drifts on the Mersey night
Mingle into the night life is my want
Lovers dreaming as lovers do in Liverpool Moonlight

Ambling along towards the Pier Head
Past the statue of the boys by the Cunard
Revelers going the other way to be fed
After that onto the dance floor and party hard

Onto the relative quiet of the waterfront
I can sit and let my thoughts drift away
Into Liverpool moonlight I take a punt
On ambitions and hopes that hold sway

Under the soft lights of the waterfront
Balmy breeze drifts on the Mersey night
Mingle into the night life is my want
Lovers dreaming as lovers do in Liverpool Moonlight

The sounds of joy wander into the atmosphere
Drawn back into the night by a chain's rattle
People all around like me glad to be here
Another lock added in honour of Atlantic's Battle

Under the soft lights of the waterfront
Balmy breeze drifts on the Mersey night
Mingle into the night life is my want
Lovers dreaming as lovers do in Liverpool Moonlight

Lovers dreaming as lovers do in Liverpool Moonlight
