A Salty Dog – Crucifiction Lane

You`d better listen anybody, `cos I`m gonna make it clear

that my life is unimportant; what I`ve done I did through fear

There`s a river running through me: on its tide I tried to hide

nonetheless I could not shake it, and in the end it swept aside

all my feeble unimportance. I can`t say it, never mind

Can`t you hear me mother calling you? I`m cold, I`m deaf, I`m blind

And if only `cos you`re lucky, we both know that`s no find

I did think I`d be an actor. What I am I`ll leave behind

You`d better listen anybody, `cos it`s me and you –that`s it

and in case you find your maker perhaps you`ll plead for us a bit

All my sick is in my stomach, all my sweat is clearly fear

and if you could see inside me I don`t think you`d have me here

Tell the helmsman veer to starboard, bring this ship around to port

and if the sea was not so salty I could sink instead of walk

And in case of passing strangers who are standing where I fell

tell the truth: you never knew me, and in truth it`s just as well
