Port of Call Songtext

von Beirut

And I
I called through the air that night
A calm sea voice without light
I could only smile
I've been alone some time

And all in all
It's been fun

And you
You had hope for me now
I danced all around it somehow
Be fair to me
I may drift awhile

Were it up to me
You'd know why

I
I called through the air that night
The thought was warming inside
Was it infantile
That which we desire

Were it up to me
I'd row(?) from your eyes

And I
I called through the air that night
My thoughts were still buried in time
We were closer then
I'd been alone sometime
Filled your glass with gin
Filled your heart with pride

And you
You had hope for me now
I danced all around it somehow
Be fair to me
I may drift awhile
If there's a plan for me
Would it make you smile

No I don't want to be there for no one
I'd stay here
No I don't want to be there for no one
If it's all the same
I don't want to follow your light
On the sea
No I don't want to be there for no one
I can't be saved
