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?"
