Lyrics for Flying Dutchman by Tull Jethro:
| | | Artist: | Tull Jethro |
| | Album: | Stormwatch | | Track: | Flying Dutchman | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 63 | | | | Lyrics: | Old lady with a barrow; life near ending
Standing by the harbour wall; warm wishes
sending
children on the cold sea swell -
not fishers of men -
gone to
chase away the last herring:
come empty home again.
So come all you lovers of
the good life
on your supermarket run -
Set a sail of your own devising
and
be there when the Dutchman comes.
Wee girl in a straw hat: from far east warring
Sad
cargo of an old ship young bodies whoring
Slow ocean hobo - ports closed to her crew
No hope of immigration - keep passing through.
So come all you lovers of the good life
your children playing in the sun -
set a sympathetic flag a-flying
and be there
when the Dutchman comes.
Death grinning like a scarecrow - Flying Dutchman
Seagull pilots flown from nowhere - try and touch one
as she sails in on the full
tide
and the harbour-master yells
All hands vanished with the captain -
no
one left, the tale to tell.
So come all you lovers of the good life
Look around
you, can you see?
Staring ghostly in the mirror -
it's the Dutchman you will
be
..floating slowly out to sea
in a misty misery | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
