The gutter may profess its love Then follow it with hesitation For there are just so many of You out there for rent A stronger girl would shake this off in flight And never give it more than a frowning hour But you have let your heart decide Loss has conquered you You've won one too many fights Wearing many hats every time But you won't win here tonight You made it through the direst of straits alright Can you help it if plain love now seems less interesting? You haven't changed an ounce in my eyes And I cannot lecture you And does anything I say seem relevant at all? You've been at the helm since you were just five While I cannot claim to be more than a passenger But, you've won one too many fights Wearing all of your clothes at the same time Let the good times in tonight Oh girl sailor don't sink her This time Just a moment or two from now Not a mind will retain even a trace Of the thoughts that I struggle to tell And how our stack of cards just fell So settle this once and for all The light no longer shows the cracks around my door And I have no lantern to light your way home tonight You are not some saint who's above Giving someone a stroll through the flowers You've got so much more to dream of Oh girl sailor, don't sink her This time This time This time
