[Verse 1]
Morning mist on crumbling stone
Bells are chiming, not alone
Boots tap softly on the quay
Maps and hopes inside of me

[Pre-Chorus]
Glancing back as smoke ascends
Every turn a story bends

[Chorus]
Drift along the riverside
Sailing on the Thames tonight
London's secrets passing by
Lanterned water, endless sky

[Post-Chorus]
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh

[Verse 2]
Silent barges floating slow
Shops and alleys down below
Fog wraps round the iron rail
Dockside laughter, silver trail

[Pre-Chorus]
Will I find my way ashore
Or drift along a little more

[Chorus]
Drift along the riverside
Sailing on the Thames tonight
London's secrets passing by
Lanterned water, endless sky

[Post-Chorus]
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh

[Bridge]
Shadow shapes beneath the pier
Laughing voices disappear
Salt and paper, old cafe
Ghosts and faces slip away

[Chorus]
Drift along the riverside
Sailing on the Thames tonight
London's secrets passing by
Lanterned water, endless sky

[Post-Chorus]
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh
