Sailor Song by Weeks
Sailor Song lyrics
Well, I asked her while she cried what she was doing with her life,
And she said, �I could marry a sailor, and I think that I�d make a good wife.
But he would leave for months at sea,
Leaving only the baby and me.
I do not think that I could stay faithful,
Or I could leave this town for good, taking only some photos and a book,
But I�m pretty sure my legs would grow weary.�
Well then she asked, �How about me?� I said, �Well Darling, let me see.
I hear wedding bells and see kisses from lovers,
And those lovers, or so it seems, appear to be you and me.
But I could be wrong cause my mind is awful hazy,
and now I�m seeing something else, and it�s me; I�m by myself.
I appear to be older, and I�m awful lonely.
And as I cry, I ask God why? How could I let my poor wife die?
And I told her not to cry and to wipe her eyes.
Well, if love is all you had, well then baby that�s not bad, and if love is all you got, then that�s a hell of a lot.�
