Lyrics
Girl sailor
The gutter may profess its love Then follow it with hesitation But 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 wont win here tonight
You've 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 end tonight Oh girl, sail her, 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 struggled 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, sail her, don't sink her This time This time This time
