From the recording River of Ballyhoo
Lyrics
Outside brews a storm, winds are wailing
Yet its safe and warm where we’re laying
The only thing I hear is the sound of your sigh
Breathed from linens, soft and white
If I was a sailor I would have drowned years ago
But I am only the vessel sailing where your beauty flows
This handsome hotel, it will do the trick
As the craftsmen they tell, its formed of tender brick
I’ll be the Johnny to your June, a couple of fools on the run
What’s left to say that can’t be sung
If I was a sailor I would have drowned years ago
But I am only the vessel sailing where your beauty flows
floor meets our feet, in rhythm we are residing
Four quarters per beat, two hearts colliding
Rugged arms clutch you tight as a dog to a bone
Cherish like a precious stone
If I was a sailor I would have drowned years ago
But I am only the vessel sailing where your beauty flows
