Almost Prayed - The Weather Prophets

Down by the harbour with my back to the land

I felt my feet sink down in the sand

Down by the harbour standing all alone

I felt my heart grow heavy as a stone

I watched the swans in diesel river

And struck a match and watched it burn against the night

I almost prayed

I almost prayed

I almost prayed

I traced my steps back through the night

Back through the day all the way to the light

Boats full of cargo ready to unload

Arms of the cranes all ready to hold

I watched the swans in diesel river

And struck a match and watched it burn against the night

I almost prayed

I almost prayed

I almost prayed

Back in the same place but everything's changed

I walk the same roads but they're not the same

Back by the harbour with my back to the land

Block out the sadness with the palm of my hand

I watched the swans in diesel river

And struck a match and watched it burn against the night

I almost prayed

I almost prayed

I almost prayed
