She's reading in the bedroom
the dog is in the yard
and i just got back from traveling hard

i've been ten days gone

i've been ten days gone cross the sea

with my girl in a house in the trees
i love her she knows but
sometimes my love goes cross the sea


paulette is in the garden
its the fist days of the fall

lately im not getting no sleep at all
she said you stay till you're strong


soon you'll be be gone cross the sea
with your girl in a house in the trees
i love her she knows but

sometimes my love goes cross the sea

the sea (x4)


i went to meet the board man
he was smoking on his pipe

said son you look ready to travel tonight
i think he's right


soon ill be gone cross the sea
with my girl in a house in the trees
i love her she knows but

sometimes my love goes cross the sea

cause she knows in the oceans im free

it makes her so sad
but she never gets mad at me
