The Deader Lyrics

So now let me tell you about this girl of mine

Hard like all men's dreams in the days of '49

Hallowed, we must swallow

Fast away she breaks

But distance keeps her miles or meters

What difference does it make

Claw's here to come again to repossess my dreams

Child don't play yourself,

Things are never what they seem

Blue jewel river, pale moon sliver

City shine so bright

But to my despair I return

Well, I sleep out every night

But the girl I love is oh so

Oh so far away

I wonder can she hear me as I go through my day?

Oh now the raging sea, she laps upon my door

I'll run a thousand horns

Just to drown upon her shore

Blurry rosies, go down moses

Oh below in sails

Those so weak will

Guts are sea-filled

Throw them o'er rails

Boys, slacked up the jim and sing a hearty song

We been drifting, drifting

For far too long

I take no care

Me, I'm so bare

Breasted on the bow

Scabby weather, skin of leather

Who's the deader now?

But the girl I love is oh so

Oh so far away

I wonder can she hear me as I go through my day?

But so long lady, angel

I guess I'll say goodbye

But I do believe I'm aging right before your eyes

Wash up on her coast,

Not a nickle to my name

Sell my, sell my, sell my gold watch and chain

Enough to hire a band of liars

To march me on my way

Through hills and valleys

Streets and alleys

Up to her open gates

But the girl I love is oh so

Oh so far away

I wonder can she hear me as I go through my day?

But so long lady, angel

I guess I'll say goodbye

But I do believe I'm aging right before your eyes

Cock crow in the morning

Heard it loud and clear

Ask her for to marry

She answer with a tear

"Boy, you had my heart, you know you always will

But it ain't enough to hold me

'Cause love don't pay the bills"

I turned away in shame

For all my days in vane

I guess I'll just drag on

No one loves you 'till you're gone

Let the river be my guide

Let the desert be my bride

'Till my heart turns to steel

'Till I no longer feel

But the girl I love is oh so

Oh so far away

I wonder can she hear me as I go through my day?

But so long lady, angel

I guess I'll say goodbye

But I do believe I'm aging

Right before your eyes
