Two Gallants lyrics : "The Deader"

So now let me tell you about this girl of mine
Hard like all men's dreams in the days of '49
Hallowed, we must swallow

Fast away she breaks
But distance keeps her miles or meters
What difference does it make


Claw's here to come again to repossess my dreams
Child don't play yourself,

Things are never what they seem
Blue jewel river, pale moon sliver
City shine so bright

But to my despair i return
Well, i sleep out every night


But the girl i love is oh so
Oh so far away
I wonder can she hear me as i go through my day?


Oh now the raging sea, she laps upon my door
I'll run a thousand horns

Just to drown upon her shore
Blurry rosies, go down moses
Oh below in sails

Those so weak will
Guts are sea-filled
Throw them o'er rails


Boys, slacked up the jim and sing a hearty song
We been drifting, drifting

For far too long
I take no care
Me, i'm so bare

Breasted on the bow
Scabby weather, skin of leather
Who's the deader now?


But the girl i love is oh so
Oh so far away

I wonder can she hear me as i go through my day?
But so long lady, angel
I guess i'll say goodbye

But i do believe i'm aging right before your eyes

Wash up on her coast,

Not a nickle to my name
Sell my, sell my, sell my gold watch and chain
Enough to hire a band of liars

To march me on my way
Through hills and valleys
Streets and alleys

Up to her open gates

But the girl i love is oh so

Oh so far away
I wonder can she hear me as i go through my day?
But so long lady, angel

I guess i'll say goodbye
But i do believe i'm aging right before your eyes


@@#! crow in the morning
Heard it loud and clear
Ask her for to marry

She answer with a tear
"boy, you had my heart, you know you always will
But it ain't enough to hold me

'cause love don't pay the bills"

I turned away in shame

For all my days in vane
I guess i'll just drag on
No one loves you 'till you're gone

Let the river be my guide
Let the desert be my bride
'till my heart turns to steel

'till i no longer feel

But the girl i love is oh so
Oh so far away
I wonder can she hear me as i go through my day?

But so long lady, angel
I guess i'll say goodbye
But i do believe i'm aging
Right before your eyes
