J.P. Cormier - Long for the Sea lyrics
There's a sparrow in the treetop singin' out my name He says "You'll only learn the rules when they decide to change the game" There's a man down in the chapel callin' out to me And my tired old bones long for the sea They made us a promise that they wouldn't keep We poured out our life's blood there in the deep And many's the devil wave was sprayed upon my prow The fishing was good But look at me now The snow falls gently in the fold of my jeans How can you be a man when they take away your means? I keep my hand on the bottle and my back to the wind A cold and lonely day Comin' down again There's a sparrow in the treetop singin' out my name He says "You'll only learn the rules when they decide to change the game" There's a man down in the chapel callin' out to me And my tired old bones long for the sea I had a boat down in Dover built just for me But they closed up the Narrows and put a padlock on the sea So now I wander the streets of a dead fishing town Watching an angry tide Beat the coastline down There's a hall just out in Mabou where we all used to go Our pockets lined with silver for filling up the bowls But now the place is dark and silent, with dust upon the floor Probably only ghosts Dance there anymore There's a sparrow in the treetop singin' out my name He says "You'll only learn the rules when they decide to change the game" There's a man down in the chapel; I sure hope he prays for me And my tired old bones long for the sea And my children grow never knowing the sea |
