Docklands Songtext
von The Mint Juleps

Mother says, "There are clothes to wash"
Mother says, "Brush your hair
We′ll go down to the launderette
Maybe your sister is there"
Mother says, "When you're young like this
Things can seem pretty bad
Let′s get out, walk by the river"

And there are people who roam the darklands
And there are ships passing in the night
And there are thousands of things that I have dreamed
Gone in the daylight

Sister says, "Hold your head up high
Life goes on, so don't be afraid
Keep your defenses, but don't shut the loving out
You′ve got to learn to carry that weight"

And all the people who roam the darkland
All the ships passing in the night
All the thousands of things that I have dreamed
Are gone in the daylight


Sometimes I feel like I′m in a foreign land
And there's a mirror I′m looking through
Lost in a place where I was born
Without a hand to hold on to

And in the darklands where I was born
People keep moving to and fro
Everybody's pushing, trying to make it happen
I miss you more than I thought I could
I need you more than you know
I was there when they took you away from me
I′ll be there when they let you go

And then the people who roam the darklands
And all the ships passing in the night
And the thousands of things that I have dreamed
Stay in the daylight

Sometimes I feel like I'm in a foreign land
And there′s a mirror I'm looking through
Bring me back to the place where I was born
I need a hand to hold on to
Give me your hand to hold on to
