Standing on the edge of a quay
No lights flashing on the water for me
Fog in my mind darkens my eyes
Silently streaming for a distant sound
Ripple river yellows
Rising for a breath of breeding and drowns
Stillness overcomes me in the night
Listen to the rising water moan

I'm waiting, waiting for the night boat woo
I'm waiting, waiting for the night boat

Shadows all through me shudder away
Echo me echo me (echo me)
Am I alone or is the river alive cause it
Echos me, echos me, echos me

I'm waiting, waiting for the night boat woo
I'm waiting, waiting for the night boat

Waiting (waiting) waiting for the night boat woo
I'm waiting (waiting)
Waiting for the night boat
Waiting for the night boat woo
I'm waiting, waiting for the night boat
I'm waiting for the night boat

DURAN DURAN has a total of over 80 million records sold, 18 American hit singles, 30 UK top 30 tunes, and a global presence which guarantees them huge concert audiences on five continents. They’ve managed to fuse pop music, art, technology and fashion with a unique sense of style and confidence. Princess Diana also admitted that Duran Duran was her favourite Band among others.

Bassist John Taylor has said the original vision for the band’s sound was ‘to fuse the Sex Pistols and Chic’ after hearing those two bands back-to-back on a pub jukebox one night.
