the deader |
| So now, let me tell you about this girl of mine |
| Heart like all men’s dreams in the days of 49 |
| I turn hollow, no me more swallow, fast only she breaks |
| But distance keeps her miles or meters, what difference does it make? |
| 'Cause here they come again to repossess my dreams |
| Child don’t play yourself things are never what they seem |
| A bridge, a river, a pale moon sliver, city shines so bright |
| But to my despair, I return where they sleep out every night |
| But the girl I love is oh, so, oh, so far away |
| And I wonder can she hear me as I go through my day |
| Oh, now the ragin' sea she laps upon my door |
| I’ll round a thousand horns just to drown upon her shore |
| Blood red roses go down moses, oh, billowin' sails |
| Those so weak-willed, guts all sea-filled, throw them o’er the rails |
| Boys, slacken up the jib and sing a hearty song |
| We’ve been driftin', driftin', for far too long |
| I take no care, me I’m so bare-breasted on the bow |
| Scabbed and weathered skin of leather, who’s the deader now |
| But the girl I love is oh, so, oh, so far away |
| And I wonder, can she hear me as I go through my day |
| It’s so long lady angel, I guess, I’ll say goodbye |
| But I do believe I’m aging right before your eyes |
| Wash up on her coast, not a nickel to my name |
| Sold my, sold my, sold my gold watch and chain |
| Enough to hire a band of lyres to march me on my way |
| Through hills and valleys, streets and alleys up to her open gates |
| But the girl I love is oh, so, oh, so far away |
| And I wonder, can she hear me as I go through my day |
| It’s so long lady angel, I guess, I’ll say goodbye |
| But I do believe I’m aging right before your eyes |
| Cock crow in the morning, heard it loud and clear |
| Asked her for to marry, she answer with a tear |
| Boy, you have my heart and I know you always will |
| But that ain’t enough to hold me 'cause love don’t pay the bills |
| I turned away in shame for all my days in vain |
| Guess, I’ll just drag on, no one loves you till you’re gone |
| Let the river be my guide, let the desert be my bride |
| Till my heart turns to steel, till I no longer feel |
| But the girl I love is oh, so, oh, so far away |
| And I wonder, can she hear me as I go through my day |
| It’s so long lady angel, I guess, I’ll say goodbye |
| But I do believe I’m aging right before your eyes |
