    Story Behind the Song
    The song was inspired by childhood memories of seeing ships towering over the houses at Southampton Docks linked to the decline of the shipyards in the North-East where I now live.

    Lyrics
    Cranes stand lifeless
    a single seagull calls
    wind whips the docklands
    while november darkness falls.
    Memories of childhood
    the ships above the rooves
    today in the dusk
    only darkness moves.

    Chorus:
    In another world
    I'll be a better man
    no slave to the river
    or hired hand
    I'll catch the sunshine
    and make a glowing ball
    place it in your heart
    so darkness never falls.

    The sparks have gone
    from the welders' arc
    no hammers ringing out
    into the growing dark

    Their lungs filled with dust
    widows left crying
    the ships have long departed
    and left this town behind

    Repeat chorus

    The future here is rising
    a palace by the sea
    but in the bars and clubs there's no place for you and me
    When we went out dancing
    they played a different tune
    on the beach where we made love
    there shone a different moon

    Repeat chorus

    Won't you come and join me
    won't you take my hand
    won't you come and walk again
    on the golden sand
