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 dreams child 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 moses oh below in sails those so weak will guts are sea-filled Songtextethrow 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 Aus Songtexte Mania
