I don't want that girl To come back through that door I don't do that cause I don't want her anymore I don't walk down to the edge And fall down on my knees Keep my nose to the wind I'll do only what I please (chorus) And the road's straight and sober We're suffering now Won't you come apart at the seams And the band's growing older
And the plans, they wear down And I know we'll never get to sea On the shore of the banks We signal with the lights Lanterns burn with our own Will flare a thousand nights Pick up sail, count the coin The copper and the stone Fill your belly with fire And sip the soldier's own (repeat chorus) Yeah I know, we'll never get to sea
