Paul Simpson - Now and Forever lyrics

You haven't washed your face in days And your cotton shirt is holy You used to live your life so fast Now you find the days drag slowly The only one that you adore Turns your warm heart ice berg blue You blame it on the bottle now Boy has this town crippled you No gulls flying No fishes swimming Just lower end boys And forlorn women It's cold at the sailor's rest And you're king of all that's lowly You're praying on a phantom check And the river's smiling coldly You want the life you can't afford After all that you've been through Soon it will be over Boy has this town crippled you No gulls flying No fishes swimming Just lower end boys And forlorn women Man and baby And storm cloud weather Who counts your blessings Now and forever
