Ali was a sailor's son |
| [00:31.991] |
Joined the merchant fleet at twenty-one |
| [00:36.662] |
Dreams of ports in distant lands |
| [00:41.158] |
A bag of figs and some low-grade heroin |
| [00:55.390] |
As the years rolled by at sea |
| [00:59.721] |
Ali thought about his destiny |
| [01:04.405] |
Tired of the sailor's life |
| [01:08.930] |
Ali thought he'd find himself a wife |
| [01:13.531] |
Lisbon, Guangzhou, Taipei, Bandung, |
| [01:18.112] |
Naples, Brunei, Capetown, Shanghai, |
| [01:22.816] |
Bangkok, Pusan, Dublin, Luzon, |
| [01:27.424] |
Lima, Dakar, Cypress, Malta |
| [02:18.236] |
Sometimes things aren't what they seem |
| [02:22.851] |
Late one night our sailor had a dream |
| [02:27.506] |
A queen of Indonesian lore |
| [02:32.088] |
A voice he'd loved a thousand years or more |
| [02:36.737] |
Lisbon, Guangzhou, Taipei, Bandung, |
| [02:41.288] |
Naples, Brunei, Capetown, Shanghai, |
| [02:45.964] |
Bangkok, Pusan, Dublin, Luzon, |
| [02:50.557] |
Lima, Dakar, Cypress, Malta |
| [03:13.921] |
When the typhoon struck at dawn |
| [03:18.299] |
Ali had his finest civvies on |
| [03:23.061] |
All the crew were cramped below |
| [03:27.475] |
And with a smile into the sea he dove |
| [03:32.141] |
Lisbon, Guangzhou, Taipei, Bandung, |
| [03:36.783] |
Naples, Brunei, Capetown, Shanghai, |
| [03:41.443] |
Bangkok, Pusan, Dublin, Luzon, |
| [03:45.966] |
Lima, Dakar, Cypress, Malta |
