The Shipwreck
She whispered, "Hey sailor what's with the coat?""What are you? Fresh off the boat?"Why yesI just spent four months at seaMy legs are still wobblingI got salt in my lungsAnd my compass brokeTrying to get to the ivory coastI'm sorryI never made it homeI was cold and aloneI felt aloneNo excuse, no excuseMay I please be excused?Because there's something that I have wanted to doLet's pour some wineGet lost for awhilePut these ships in the bottleAnd forget about timeIt's the pastHere's a present that I brought for youWhen it opens your eyes will be in full bloomNo it's really nothingBut I shined it like newSongtexteI was cold and aloneIn a dark wooden tombWhen I wrote you this song I was at seaYeah I was a shipwreck strung out on some reefYou said, "Let's just be friends""But can we take off these coats?"Then maybe I'll make it to the ivory coast
