As the twilight was returning and the sun began to fall

G d em7 c

I walked down to the beach front and watched the whitecaps roll

G d em c

A flare exploded over the ocean. an orange tear

G d em c g

Then I saw at the corner of my eye the girl at the end of the pier



Intro repeat



G d em7 c

She stood and stared at the brightness, glowing and complete

G d em7 c

In her crinoline and lacing with the wood beneath her feet

G d em c

She walked in splinters shedding the salt of a single tear

G d em7

Who will fill up the vacuum inside her,

C g d em7 c

The girl at the end of the pier



Bridge



Em c em c

The toffee apples strewn on the pavement. the candy floss sticks to the tar

Em c

The organ grinder's monkey's been freed from enslavement

Em d

He ran beneath the wheels of a family car



Intro repeat / bridge repeat



G d em7 c

Now the funfair is shut down and the coconut shy is gone

G d em7 c

A carousel spins on regardless and the big wheel creaks and groans

G d em c

No-one saw her run to the railing and disappear

One more drop in an unfeeling ocean, the girl at the end of the pier
