The deader


So now let me tell you about this girl of mine
hard like all men's dreams in the days of '49
[?] hallowed, we must swallow
fast away she breaks
but distance keeps her miles or meters
what difference does it make

claw's here to come again to repossess my dreamschild don't play yourself,
things are never what they seem
blue jewel river, pale moon sliver
city shine so bright
but to my despair I return
well, I sleep out every night

but the girl I love is oh so
oh so far away
I wonder can she hear me as I go through my day?

oh now the raging sea, she laps upon my door
i'll run a thousand horns
just to drown upon her shore
blurry rosies, go down mosesoh below in sails
those so weak will
guts are sea-filled
throw them o'er rails

boys, slacked up the jim and sing a hearty song
we been drifting, drifting
for far too long
I take no care
me, I'm so bare
breasted on the bow
scabby weather, skin of leather
who's the deader now?

but the girl I love is oh so
oh so far away
I wonder can she hear me as I go through my day?
but 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 nickle to my name
sell my, sell my, sell my gold watch and chain
enough to hire a band of liars
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
I wonder can she hear me as I go through my day?
but 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
ask her for to marry
she answer with a tear
"Boy, you had my heart, you know you always will
but it ain't enough to hold me
'cause love don't pay the bills"

I turned away in shame
for all my days in vane
I 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
I wonder can she hear me as I go through my day?
but so long lady, angel
I guess I'll say goodbye
but I do believe I'm aging
right before your eyes

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
