Idanha This song floods my mind with so many thoughts of my childhood. It reminds me of a story between my grandpa & grandma during the war. It’s a real classic.

lyrics

Take me home, sailor, put my legs in the air.
I don’t even know what I’m doing here,
In this place in time.
It looks mighty cold where you come from.
Is that why you say you’re always numb?
Perhaps another night.

You talk too pretty for a boarding maid.
Let’s try Act 2 and I’ll be on my way,
And leave you be.
Do you think about birds with the other men?
Why did you cry when you let me in,
May I please stay?

It’s a bitter old world movin’ out there,
So I made me some curtains out of underwear.
Just a little shade.
Tell me all about that scar on your arm.
Did a German put it there to leave his mark,
Or did you help Cain?

I ain’t that scared of losing an eye,
At least it’ll hide the world when I die.
When that day comes.
They say never fight a morning tide
But I must’ve drowned a thousand times
Where should we run?

There’s nothing out there I’d want to see.
This roof overhead is enough for me.
It’s all I need.
Don’t look so glum when I kiss your head.
It’s just that those words that you said
Are numb to me.

I stole this old phone off the ship last night.
I'll always be there on the other line,
When you call.
Please don’t let the others know
It won’t be long before I go.
Goodbye, my love.

I thought about you the other night.
It fell against the window behind my eyes.
Poor little thing.
There’s stones in my lungs when I cough,
The line’s been quiet, I’m signing off.
