Something a bit different again, with an accordion intro...
Lyrics
Down by the docks where the shadows play,
Deals are made at the end of the day.
Fingers point with the evening tide,
Secrets buried by the waterside.
Down by the docks, where the law won’t go,
Things look in order but it’s all just for show
Night whispers such a dangerous tune,
Crime never sleeps beneath the moon.
Down by the docks, there are sights which will shock
Truth gets sold, the brave turning cold
The tide rolls in, but it can’t erase,
The sins that haunt this godless place.
Down by the docks
Down by the docks

The accordion intro sets the tone really nicely - I love the mellow delivery and how it contrasts with the darkness of the lyrics!

You don't get an accordion intro often, in life - nice choice. A nice haunting, contemplative piece.
"The tide rolls in, but it can’t erase,
The sins that haunt this godless place." Dig that.
