lyrics

You're the last one left on this torn up sinking ship
Even the poets have found a new cause
Now you're looking for a plank that will carry the weight
Of the baggage that's been piled up for years

Look around and you'll see
All the tired tied up dreams
Like flotsam they knock on the hull
Thinking back we can tell
When it all fell to hell
The alarms cut the night to the bone

When the captain said "Stand, we'll not take her to land,
we can ride out the storm 'til she blows."
Not a hint of remorse as we're blown well off course
As the first of the crew take to the sea

The dream finally ends as you lose your last friend
The sea never gives up its dead

The Old Smugglers Saint Paul, Minnesota

Scotch and coffee, smelling like smoke and grandpa, truckload of soup cans falling from the sky, Americana shanty sounds of regret and revelation.
