Lyrics
You Ain't No Sailor
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Kate wasn't in to moderation
That's what led to her frustration
With the state of her crumbling heart
She'd say "I'm not a girl for temperance",
Though I know it's at my heart's expense
But a downward spiral has to have a rock bottom.
She painted the walls with blue and green
She'd sing about her lovers and dreams and
Explain her hopeless desperation
Take off your shoes unravel your blues
This place is full of beggars and choosers
But the consequence of her liberty is bad
But my heart wants to go one way my mind don't agree
Cause they, they have fallen out recently
"Know thy self" she said as she guided me round
The land of the dead
Introducing her friend stuck in the same mess
Ships might be built for sailing, my love, an easel's made for painting
But you ain't no sailor and I'll never be camera shy
My hear wants to go one way my mind don't agree
Cause they, they have fallen out recently
Well she said
"will I praise again? Oh will I praise again?"
Cause my heart wants to go on where my mind don't agree
And they, they have fallen out recently
Well she said,
"Oh will I praise again?"
"Oh will I praise again?"
"Will I, will I sing again?"
"Will I, praise again?"
