Listen for the boatman's call |
|
We're casting off as evening falls |
|
Creeping through the harbour lights |
|
Entering the night |
|
Tattered posters on the pier |
|
With laughing clowns and cavaliers |
|
Faded smiles that drift away |
|
And never shed a tear |
|
We're heading out of sight |
|
Beyond the walls of wrong and right |
|
Desperate dreamers on the seas |
|
Renegades and refugees |
|
The whistling wind the rising swell |
|
We heard six bells and all was well |
|
Accordions sway beneath the lamps |
|
Drunk on contraband |
|
A cosy magic eiderdown |
|
We can't wake up we've run aground |
|
Unchartered lands we're lost at sea |
|
Washed up and cast away |
|
We're heading out of sight |
|
Beyond the walls of wrong and right |
|
Desperate dreamers on the seas |
|
Renegades and refugees |
