Jack's Mannequin - 10 Days Gone lyrics

She's reading in the bedroom The dog is in the yard And I just got back from traveling hard I've been ten days gone I've been ten days gone 'cross the sea With my girl in a house in the trees I love her she knows But sometimes my love goes 'Cross the sea Paulette is in the garden It's the first day of the fall Lately I'm not getting no see at all She said stay till you're strong Soon you'll be gone 'Cross the sea With your girl in a house in the trees I love her she knows But sometimes my love goes 'Cross the sea The sea The sea The sea I went to meet the boatman He was smoking on his pipe He said son you look ready To travel tonight I think he's right Soon I'll be gone 'cross the sea With my girl in a house in the trees I love her she knows But sometimes my love goes 'Cross the sea Because she knows in the oceans I'm free And it makes her so sad But she never gets mad when I leave
