The Whalers Dues |
| oney spraks. |
| Soft hearts lose. |
| The truth only whispers. |
| It’s the whaler’s dues. |
| I’ve been running borrowed time, if truth’s to be told. |
| Two whales in the ocean, cruising the night |
| Search for each other before we turn out thir light. |
| Been accused of deep murder on thee North Atlantic swell |
| But I have three hungry children and a young wife as well. |
| And behind stand generations of hard hunting men |
| Who raised a glass to the living, and went killing again. |
| Are you with me? |
| Money speaks, soft hearts lose. |
| The truth only whispers. |
| Now pay the whaler’s dues. |
| Can you forgive me? |
| Now I’m old and I sit land-locked in a back-country jail |
| To reflect on all of my sins and the death of the whale. |
