Girl At The End Of The Pier Lyrics

G D Em7 C As the twilight was returning and the sun began to fall G D Em7 C I walked down to the beach front and watched the whitecaps roll G D Em C A flare exploded over the ocean. An orange tear G D Em C G Then I saw at the corner of my eye the girl at the end of the pier Intro repeat G D Em7 C She stood and stared at the brightness, glowing and complete G D Em7 C In her crinoline and lacing with the wood beneath her feet G D Em C She walked in splinters shedding the salt of a single tear G D Em7 Who will fill up the vacuum inside her, C G D Em7 C the girl at the end of the pier Bridge Em C Em C The toffee apples strewn on the pavement. The candy floss sticks to the tar Em C The organ grinder's monkey's been freed from enslavement Em D He ran beneath the wheels of a family car Intro repeat / Bridge repeat G D Em7 C Now the funfair is shut down and the coconut shy is gone G D Em7 C A carousel spins on regardless and the big wheel creaks and groans G D Em C No-one saw her run to the railing and disappear G D Em C G D One more drop in an unfeeling ocean, the girl at the end of the pier G D Em7 C G One more drop in an unfeeling ocean, the girl at the end of the pier D Em7 C G D Em7 C G girl at the end of the pier girl at the end of the pier
