Letra de The deader

So now let me tell you about this girl of mine
Hard like all men´s dreams in the days of ´49
Hallowed, we must swallow
Fast away she breaks
But distance keeps her miles or meters
What difference does it make

Claw´s here to come again to repossess my dreams
Child don´t play yourself,
Things are never what they seem
Blue jewel river, pale moon sliver
City shine so bright
But to my despair i return
Well, i sleep out every night

But the girl i love is oh so
Oh so far away
I wonder can she hear me as i go through my day?

Oh now the raging sea, she laps upon my door
I´ll run a thousand horns
Just to drown upon her shore
Blurry rosies, go down moses
Oh below in sails
Those so weak will
Guts are sea-filled
Throw them o´er rails

Boys, slacked up the jim and sing a hearty song
We been drifting, drifting
For far too long
I take no care
Me, i´m so bare
Breasted on the bow
Scabby weather, skin of leather
Who´s the deader now?

But the girl i love is oh so
Oh so far away
I wonder can she hear me as i go through my day?
But so long lady, angel
I guess i´ll say goodbye
But i do believe i´m aging right before your eyes

Wash up on her coast,
Not a nickle to my name
Sell my, sell my, sell my gold watch and chain
Enough to hire a band of liars
To march me on my way
Through hills and valleys
Streets and alleys
Up to her open gates

But the girl i love is oh so
Oh so far away
I wonder can she hear me as i go through my day?
But so long lady, angel
I guess i´ll say goodbye
But i do believe i´m aging right before your eyes

Cock crow in the morning
Heard it loud and clear
Ask her for to marry
She answer with a tear
"boy, you had my heart, you know you always will
But it ain´t enough to hold me
´cause love don´t pay the bills"

I turned away in shame
For all my days in vane
I guess i´ll just drag on
No one loves you ´till you´re gone
Let the river be my guide
Let the desert be my bride
´till my heart turns to steel
´till i no longer feel

But the girl i love is oh so
Oh so far away
I wonder can she hear me as i go through my day?
But so long lady, angel
I guess i´ll say goodbye
But i do believe i´m aging
Right before your eyes
