I thought I saw you yesterday
I thought I saw a tear
I thought I saw you sitting there
Alone down by the pier
I thought I saw you watching the ships
One by one they were sailing by
I thought I saw you holding back trying not to cry
I thought I saw you dip your hand down in the murky blue
I was standing there watching you
But you did not have a clue
I thought I saw the breeze blow through your silky hair
You didn't even move
You didn't seem to care
You let the air hit your cheeks
Rosy as they grew
You let the tears stream down your face
As I thought I saw them wet your lace
I thought I saw you look to the sky
As the gray clouds came streaming by
I thought I saw a raindrop fall
Falling like your tear
I thought I saw you walk away
But you never really left
Your soul will always be there
In the ocean's depth
And I'll always remember that day
I thought I saw you sitting there
Alone down by the pier
