A Salty Dog – Too Much Between Us

There`s you, you`re sleeping over there

whilst me I`m sitting here

with so much sea between us

I can`t make it much more clear

There`ll be no time for crying

We won`t make it more than six

I could change my plea to guilty

but I don`t think it would stick

Still those other ratings far too easy to despise

You`ve said so much in silence now I truly am disguised

Let him who fears his heart alone

stand up and make a speech

For him perhaps an emperor`s throne

if he could only speak

Far too few and far to follow

For shame I`ll heed the cry

Be with me when I need a drink

be with me when I die

Still those other ratings far too easy to despise

You`ve said so much in silence now indeed I am disguised
