June Tabor - The Grey Funnel Line lyrics
[June Tabor - The Grey Funnel Line lyrics]
The weary night never worries me
But the hardest time in a sailor's day
Is to watch the sun as it dies away
And it's one more day on the Grey Funnel Line
The finest ship that sails the sea
Is still a prison for the likes of me
But give me wings like Noah's dove
I'd fly up harbour to the girl I love
And it's one more day on the Grey Funnel Line
Oh Lord, if dreams were only real
I'd have my hands on that wooden wheel
And with all my heart I'd turn her round
And tell the boys that we're homeward bound
And it's one more day on the Grey Funnel Line
I'll pass the time like some machine
Until blue water turns to green
Then I'll dance on down that walk ashore
And sail the Grey Funnel Line no more
And sail the Grey Funnel Line no more
