Lyrics:
was when he died?] (No)
[He was twenty-five] (No. no)
[That's why I gotta come clean] (why?)
[Because I'm already seventeen]
Who's to blame? (Who's
table I'm longing to hold her so tight
I know once again I will meet her when she gets through working tonight
Someday when my ship comes to anchor I'll
I am concentrating girl
With all my might
Now the sound of your laughter
Trails off through the midnight sky
As the miles go by cities come
of swinging keys
We dreamed that whole Leviathans lay rotting in the reeds
There's a sound that comes from miles away if you lean your head to hear
A ship's
hoes got miles on it (ah)
From the H, so I wanna come down on it
Throw it back, make a nigga throw the towel on it
And I know you wanna slide in
big red sun
Look a lot like fire
When you come out of the ground
After forty eight hours
Going down down down down down
Going down in Durban deep
Frankie's in trouble downtown
But if it was any other man I'd put him straight away
But sometimes when it's your brother you look the other way
Yeah
Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watching the ships roll in
And I watch 'em roll away again
Sittin' on the dock
had to pay my price
The things I did not know at first
I learned by doin' twice
Ah, but still they come to haunt me
Still they want their say
So
to the Golden State
When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes
We'd be heading in the terminal gate
Swing low sweet chariot, come down easy
Taxi to the terminal
killed in action
That's why I'm here I'm searching for his grave
Somewhere here among
When I come to this far where he's sleeping
I know it will
Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah
I'm
I got are from soakin' too long when the ship got hit by a plane
And right here about four years back I met Grasshopper MacClain
The sun was a burnin'
I left my home in Norfolk Virginia, California on my mind.
Straddled that Greyhound, it rode me past Raleigh, and on across Caroline.
Stopped in
bank account or say it to the dice
When I lay down in my bed it's like my head in the vice
When I look inside the mirror all I see is flaws
When I
In a long and involved conversation with myself
I saw a precious thing come into view
When I poured through the files taken off my mental shelf
I
though you are
Miles and miles away
And you are miles and miles away
Miles and miles away
Miles and miles away
You know when souls entwine
My heart is
tonight", as he puffs a big cigar
"And if this rig keeps rolling, my boy you'll travel far
But when you are a trucker you'll come to realize
The only thing
was blind and thought my second chance was gone
A ship without a sail
Battered by the raging sea
Taking any love I can to try and stop the rain
a sprained jaw
A lot of rappers on my list that just ain't Ja
And I'ma read that motherfucker off come April
You pussies think I went soft 'cause 8 mile
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
In my rearview mirror
My life is getting clearer
The sunset sighs and slowly disappears
These trinkets once were treasure
Last night a little dancer came dancin' to my door
Last night a little angel came pumpin' on my floor
She said, "Come on baby I got a license for
opera loud
But my train is on yo track now
So watch out
With the music in the lights in the middle of the night
I'm gettin' my way like a kid in
the patriot blood
My ship is sailin' peacefully beneath
A flag of stars
It's manned by Irish hearts of
Oak and manly Yankee tars
And that dear emblem
