I believe the lyrics go as such: so now let me tell you about this girl of mine heart like all men's dreams in the days of '49 I turn hollow, no me more swallow fast away she breaks but distance keeps her miles or meters what difference does it make because here they come again to reposess my dreams child don't play yourself things are never what they seem a bridge, a river, a pale moon sliver the city shines so bright but to my despair I return where 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 blood red roses, go down moses oh billowing sails those so weak willed guts are sea-filled throw them o'er the rails
boys slacking up the jib and sing a hearty song we been drifting, drifting for far too long I took no care me, I'm so bare breasted on the bow scabbed and weathered skin of leather whose 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 upon her coast not a nickel to my name sold my, sold my, sold my gold watch and chain enough to hire a band of lyres 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 I 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 vain 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 guide till my heart turns to steel till I no longer feel
Its been so long since I left that comment that I forgot if it was a sick joke or not. Wait....I said "how cool the clouds look?" I never accused them of moving. Although I think they might have moved a bit since I left that first comment.
i remember this song when my first girlfriend broke up with me. fuck it.

that the girl I love is oh so
oh so far away
and 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

The lyrics are laughably innacurate. Scabby weather?

I love how cool the clouds look when they roll into the second verse.
