Girl Sailor

the gutter may profess its love then follow it with hesitation but there are just so many eyes you have different         a stronger girl would brush this off in flight never giving 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 won't win here tonight         you made it through the direst of straits all right 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       does anything I say seem relevant at all you've been at the helm since you were just 5ive and I cannot claim to be more than a passenger       well you won one too many fights wearin'all of your clothes at the same time do you want an end tonight oh girl, sail and don't sink her this time...              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...
