Sailor Song

[Verse 1]

Walk out, Amanda, our fortunes are clear

These are the last of our days

Left San Francisco with time on my hands

And I got back with you on my brain

So bring me a second or bring me an hour

Bring me the world in a tear

Bring me a little of anything, Amanda

And I'll keep it close to me here

Press it among the best years of my heart and my tears

And I want, and I want, and I want, and I want

Throw me up on the shore tonight and I'll count the last light

And I want, and I want, and I want, and I want[?]

Come on, Amanda, you know what I mean

You won't be happy around here

Got on the wagon the tenth of December

I fell off the first of the year

And I know you wish I was better then that

I know you wish I was dry

God knows I wish I was somebody else

Right now, I wish I could die

Press it among the best years of my heart and my tears

[Chorus]

And I want, and I want, and I want, and I want

Maybe among the earphones of my heart and my soul

And I want, and I want, and I want, and I want everything

And I want to be a raider, I want anything

And I want to be a man

[Verse 2]

What's the matter?

Didn't you think we were trying?

Hey, what's the matter?

Didn't you think I was somebody else who

Could lie in the wake of your smile?

Spent twenty-six stiffening years down the drain

Women who will spit in your eye

And a drunkard like me gets the worst of your love

Good riddance, good luck, and good bye

Press it among the best years of my heart and my tears

[Chorus]

And I want, and I want, and I want, and I want

Maybe among the hill folds of my heart and my soul

And I want, and I want, and I want, and I want

Singing till the sky turns and lungs burst and throat burns

And I want, and I want, and I want, and I want

Screaming till the sun houses my here and my now

[Outro]

And I want, and I want, and I want, and I want everything

And I want to be a sailor, I want anything

And I want to be a man

I want everything

And I want to be a sailor, I want anything

And I want to be a man

And I want to be a man

And I want to be a man
