The Shipwreck Songtext
Songtext powered by LyricFind
She whispered, "Hey sailor what's with the coat?"
"What are you? Fresh off the boat?"
Why yes
I just spent four months at sea
My legs are still wobbling
I got salt in my lungs
And my compass broke
Trying to get to the ivory coast
I'm sorry
"What are you? Fresh off the boat?"
Why yes
I just spent four months at sea
My legs are still wobbling
I got salt in my lungs
And my compass broke
Trying to get to the ivory coast
I'm sorry
I never made it home
I was cold and alone
I felt alone
No excuse, no excuse
May I please be excused?
Because there's something that I have wanted to do
Let's pour some wine
Get lost for awhile
Put these ships in the bottle
And forget about time
It's the past
Here's a present that I brought for you
When it opens your eyes will be in full bloom
No it's really nothing
But I shined it like new
I was cold and alone
In a dark wooden tomb
When I wrote you this song I was at sea Yeah I was a shipwreck strung out on some reef
You said, "Let's just be friends"
"But can we take off these coats?"
Then maybe I'll make it to the ivory coast
I was cold and alone
I felt alone
No excuse, no excuse
May I please be excused?
Because there's something that I have wanted to do
Let's pour some wine
Get lost for awhile
Put these ships in the bottle
And forget about time
It's the past
Here's a present that I brought for you
When it opens your eyes will be in full bloom
No it's really nothing
But I shined it like new
I was cold and alone
In a dark wooden tomb
When I wrote you this song I was at sea Yeah I was a shipwreck strung out on some reef
You said, "Let's just be friends"
"But can we take off these coats?"
Then maybe I'll make it to the ivory coast
