Emmylou Harris - The Grey Funnel Line lyrics

Don't mind the rain or rolling sea The weary night never worries me But the hardest time in a sailor's day Is to watch the sun as it slips away 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 above her to the one I love 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 might I'd turn here 'round And tell the boys that we're homeward bound It's one more day on the Grey Funnel Line I'd pa** the time like some machine Until blue water turns to green Then I'd dance on down that walk ashore And sail the Grey Funnel Line no more And sail the Grey Funnel Line no more
