Lyrics for Remittance Man by Jimmy Buffett:
| | | Artist: | Jimmy Buffett |
| | Album: | Barometer Soup | | Track: | Remittance Man | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 68 | | | | Lyrics: | Sinner on the mainland
He's a sinner on the sea
He looks for absolution
Not
accountability
How many destinations
Oh God he's seen them all
He collects his
precious pittance
In every port of call
Chorus
Remittance man
Black sheep
of the family clan
Broke too many rules along the way
Remittance man
So far away from
home
No they'll never understand the remittance man
Verse
A man of empty
pockets
From jingling his change
The idleness and grieving
Are all that he
retains
By the harbor lights of Sydney
Or the Bora Bora moon
He recites his sad
confession
To the seagulls and the loons
Chorus
Remittance man
Black sheep
of the family clan
Broke too many rules along the way
Remittance man
So far away from
home
No they'll never understand the remittance man
Bridge
You could claim that
you were born a prince
But you're the only one you cna convince
Survivor with no
livelihood, that you could ever make it good
But still you dream of what you can't
pretend
Verse
An unexpected passenger
Boarded in Marseilles
An angel full
of tenderness
She gave her heart away
She was but a gypsy
He was just a
stray
They almost made a miracle
But it slowly slipped away
So he follows the
equator
With a wish to run aground
It's a very vicious circle
Going round and round
and round
Now he watches from the fantail
As the mainland disappears
Just like
the Flying Dutchman
He's a prisoner of his fears
Chorus
Remittance
man
Black sheep of the family clan
Broke too many rules along the way
Remittance
man
So far away from home
No they'll never understand (x3 | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
