Lyrics:
For the day
Guinevere had golden hair
Like yours, mi'lady, like yours
Streaming out when we'd ride
Through the warm wind down by the bay
Gloucester Harbor Sound,
But the women left behind, they call the place Dogtown.
The men go out for whaling, past the breakers and the fogs.
The women
Sitting by the harbor, the lilies white and true
Wind blows echoes of grapes and sweat
The essence of you
An old memoir in the carefree noir
In
The telegraph cables hum
And few can decipher who the message is from
And deliver it quietly
'Cause some don't get much company
The harbor
Suzanne takes you down
To a place by the river
You can see the boats go by
You could spend the night forever
And you know that she's half crazy
Suzanne takes you down
To a place by the river
You can see the boats go by
You could spend the night forever
And you know that she's half crazy
Open the window I need some air
So many people and there's such disorder here
Familiar faces found out lies
Turn to the street
were their own
Caught by the ocean thief
The bow hit on a coral reef
Romany sank like a stone
chorus
verse 1
The telegraph cables hum
And few can decipher who the message is from
And deliver it quietly
'Cause some don't get much company
The harbor
arms again
I feel like walking on air.
And just to dream you'll be there keeps me going.
And all those days go by.
We will never be apart again,
a fish in the water, like a bird in the air
Lost and alone on some forgotten highway
Traveled by many, remembered by few
Lookin' for something that I
You harbor resentment
You know there ain't too much of a thrill
You wish for contentment
But you got an emptiness that can't be filled
You've
the city in our sights
Chasing dreams and flavors in those Boston nights
Cobblestone streets and the harbor's salty breeze
With every step we take it's like
i was the farthest thing from you swallowed by the air, the ashes too
close up on the harbor cloaked in mist wade into the stinging phosphorous
when i
Oh, Ellis Island was swarming
Like a scene from a costume ball
Decked out in the colors of Europe
And on fire with the hope of it all
There my
And the ship
The black freighter
Runs a flag up its masthead
And a cheer rings the air
By noontime the dock
Is a-swarmin' with men
Comin' out from
And the ship
The Black Freighter
Runs a flag up its masthead
And a cheer rings the air
By noontime the dock
Is a-swarmin' with men
Comin' out from

Some times when the sun goes down
And I'm lost in some other town
My thoughts may drift away
To Manzanillo
"Second floor, hardware, children's wear, ladies lingerie
Oh, good morning Mr. Tyler, going down?"
Yeah
Workin' like a dog for the boss man
That used to warm the air
Lowdown
Oh! Feelin' pretty bad
Feelin' like I lost the best friend
That I ever had
Lowdown
Oh! Got to find a way
Got
Just a cup
The sails are up and the bets are down
Let's lighten up this harbor town
By hook or crook or new design
We're streakin' for that
over
We've got the better guns
Outnumber 'em by thousands
We wrote our letters home
Sayin' the Union's glorious victory's near
But Cold Harbor
The skies over Cuba turned pink with the light
And the waterfront ritual began to ignite
All the ships in the harbor were warmed by the sun
been through
I know we're cool
I know we're cool
We used to think it was impossible
Now you call me by my new last name
Memories seem like so long
