lyrics

Toothless grin, Stinking of gin
Wonder if his Mama wonders where he has bee
Nicotine stains, sorrow falls like rain
A shower would do a world of good for him

The silence speaks , cold and darkness mock the weak
no one can know the secrets that lie within
A day lasts a month, a collection of hours
No time's enough to wash away the sin

CHORUS
I was once the captain of a mighty great vessel
I sailed the ocean for years
I was once a father, a devoted husband
But I tell you son I never shed no tears


Beyond repair, fallen out of mid-air
to a world raised on candy corn and colour tv
Sit and smoke while the kids laugh and joke
If they decide not to hurt you they'll soon let you be



Blood for wine, drink holds the line
Precious as the first words your little boy said
You lost your hope, let go of the rope
as visions of the past dance through your head

CHORUS

A disciple of melody and harmony and tempo and timbre. ... more
