Lyrics

The Shores of Dover

Words and Music by Carolyn McLaughlin


Watching the lights fade away
On the shores of Dover
Riding the blue and the grey
You slip away

Dreaming your way through the days
Seemed so easy
To be with, the men of the waves
So brave

So run to the wind and rain
Memories will bring you back again
And nothing will ever be the same
On the shores of Dover
On the shores of Dover

Well, roll in and roll out I know
You can?t hear me
Lost and there?s so far to go
You know, you should have stayed

Watching the lights fade away
You know it?s over
Gone for the blue and the grey
And the shores of Dover

So run to the wind and rain
Memories will bring you back again
Nothing will ever be the same
So run to the wind and the rain
Memories will bring you back again
And nothing will ever be the same
On the shores of Dover
On the shores of Dover
