Down by the docks The weather was fine The sailors were drinking American wine And I wished I could go back to spring again Now they're all gone That's life moving on Some stayed behind to get drunk on the song And they wish they could go back to spring again Oh, such a spring Oh, such a spring Oh, such a spring ♪ The noise of the town The salt in the air It plays all around, but I no longer care And I wish I could go back to spring again Oh, such a spring Oh, such a spring Oh, such a spring
They try words And down through the years It all turns to tears They don't know But they try anyway The clouds cleared up The sun hit the sky I watched all the folks go to work Just to die And I wished I could go back to spring again
