I fell in love with sailor Near the docks of my home down When I was young and full of anger He brought me up when I was down Saying how many years has it been like that And when we woooah woo woooo wooo wooo I've got trouble tryna lose you And when we woooah wooo wooo woah wooo I've got trouble tryna care Left the coast in early morning Watched his boat set off to sea Silence is a golden mountain The last words you said to me Saying how many years has it been like that And when we woooah woo woooo wooo wooo I've got trouble tryna lose you And when we woooah wooo wooo woah wooo I've got trouble tryna care Well I met this nice girl in a gorgeous town just west of home She told me she didn't like the direction her life was about to go So I took her on my boat and we made love under the stars I told her something about mountains so she'd leave before night was dark Said how many years has it been like this? Don't leave me dying out here like this. And when we woooooooah woo woooo wooo I've got trouble tryna lose you And when we wooooooooo wooo wooo wooo I've got trouble tryna care When we know when we know I've got trouble tryna lose you When we know when we know I've got trouble tryna care
