Alejandro Escovedo - Tugboat lyrics

She wasn't young she wasn't old She was simply the most beautiful woman he had ever seen The captain's hands They never held another woman again He was always seen carrying a bag A bag of bones, a dusty beer And the faded outline of a tatooed tear And the faded outline of a tatooed tear Sometimes the moonlight spills across the ocean And it reminds him of his lover's hair But then sometimes The ocean surrounds him Wraps her arms around him And tries to drag him down Amongst the treasures that still remain there When the night is full You can hear him sing This song Gone gone those days are gone They're bound to time and they keep draggin on I gave you my best and now that's gone And what I got left you couldn't lean on Gone gone those days are gone Gone gone gone And so on...
