Davey Jones

I am a simple man

I learned to work with my hands out on these waves

I guess I've always known

I would die alone here one cold November day

I heard that you did take

My brother in the morning another without warning

And who am I to think that I'd be any different as God as my witness

I saw Davy Jones underneath the water

With a thousand of my fathers calling me home

And I saw Davy Jones wavin' his black flag countin' up his bones

They say when I was five

The day I cast my first line I fell over the port side

As I was sinkin' down

I heard my mama singing, I heard the church bells ringing

But when they pulled me in I felt him tuggin' my hand

I saw Davy Jones underneath the water

With a thousand of my fathers calling me home

And I saw Davy Jones wavin' his black flag countin' up his bones

Now the waves have snapped the mast

I'm takin' water so fast I let go of the lines

And I could feel my father's stare from beyond the grave somewhere

As I fail him one last time

'Cause I would never be the man he thought I should be

The lesser of his sons

So Jesus help me now, help me to forgive him

Before the darkness floods in

I saw Davy Jones underneath the water

With a thousand of my fathers calling me home

And I saw Davy Jones wavin' his black flag countin' up his bones
