Give me rum
To while away
All these dreadful days
And I will sing
I will sing
Of you
To everyone
Give me peace of mind
And give me the time and day
Till the noxious shades that hold sway
Over my thoughts dissipate
Till my reason, my rhyme
Find their way back I'm blind
Grinding my knuckles against the reef
Sing my blood to the ocean tide
Oh! I know
I shouldn't fall asleep in the snow
And this canvas looks so inviting
And my dreams are beckoning
Oh! I know
Nothing's like it used to be
But these gnarled arms and lit barns
Minarets, mink farms
All seem so familiar to me
Could have sworn I was here
In some loveless fantasy
So give me rum
To isolate
My thoughts from the same
And we'll cruise
Through these blues
On all the streets of the sea
And give me peace of mind
And give me the time and day
Till the noxious shades that hold sway
Over my thoughts dissipate
Till my reason, my rhyme
Find their way back I'm blind
Oh!
Grinding my knuckles against the reef
Sing my blood to the ocean tide
Oh! Oh! Oh! I know
I shouldn't fall asleep in the snow
And this canvas looks so inviting
And my dreams are beckoning
Oh! Oh! Oh! I know
Nothing's like it used to be
But these gnarled arms and lit barns
Minarets, mink farms
All seem so familiar to me
Could have sworn I was here
In some loveless loveless loveless fantasy
