[Intro] [Backing vocals: ooh, doo-doo-wah] [Verse 1] I laid you down where the grass was dry Your hat beside you, under the sky The torches came, so I couldn't stay But darling, I'm not far away [Chorus] I'll be back by the water (ooh) When the fog rolls in (doo-doo-wah) I'll be back by the water Where our story began Look for the amber, love Look for the light I'll be back by the water some night [Verse 2] They'll say they found you, they'll say you're saved They'll never know just who behaved But I'll be watching from the reeds so green The gentlest thing you've ever seen [Chorus] I'll be back by the water (ooh) When the fog rolls in (doo-doo-wah) I'll be back by the water Where our story began Look for the amber, love Look for the light I'll be back by the water some night [Bridge] [Deep bass voice] Fill up the lido, paint it blue Hang up the bunting, the summer's through But when the last lamp's out and the gate's shut tight Somebody's waiting in the deep end tonight [Final Chorus] I'll be back by the water (ooh) When the fog rolls in (doo-doo-wah) I'll be back by the water Where our story began Look for the amber, love Look for the light I'll be back by the water... some night [Outro] [Harmonies fade] Some night... ooh...
