My Only Friend Songtext

von John Washburn

All hands on deck, this ship is sinking
To the longboats boys, what were we thinking?
Sail round the world and back again
Right now, you're my only friend

I'm at the table; I'm at six and seven
I count my sins so I might still go to heaven
It won't be long now, buried in the sand
The straight flush is a dead man's hand

Just last night I dreamt I saw you
Pilot on a sunken ship
You had eyes of fire
And skin like green copper
Your mouth was moving
But you could not make a sound

I'm half asleep and I don't care where I go
It's half relief to find out you don't really want to know
Circle round and back again
Right now you're my only friend

Just last night I dreamt I saw you
Tangled up in Spanish moss
You were struggling
And reaching out for me
I tried to help you
But my legs would not move me

All hands on deck, this ship is sinking
To the longboats boys, what were we thinking?
Sail round the world and back again
Right now, you're my only friend
