lyrics
I’ve been a drifter and there’s no one to blame
But the blood of my Father and the west coastal rain
So I scattered some stones, haven’t stopped to say hey
When it comes time to gather, we’ll see what they weigh
We’ll say hey, maybe we’ve been busy, or hey, maybe we changed
I built a boat, just to see how it sails
You’re shoveling coal and you’ve mapped out the rails
So I make friends with sailors for they know the sea
And you ride the rail-cars, oh the places you’ve been
[Chorus]
If you’re ever in my town, if I ever float by,
If you’re caught in the cold under Hamilton skies
Then watch for the water, I’ll be riding the tide
We’ll shake hands in the harbor, split a bottle of rye
We’ll say hey, maybe we’ve been busy, or hey maybe we changed
These fires they’ll burn forever, though there’s days when you don’t feel their flame
So what are we doing complaining about the weather?
It snows in the winter, come springtime it rains
[Chorus]
But the blood of my Father and the west coastal rain
So I scattered some stones, haven’t stopped to say hey
When it comes time to gather, we’ll see what they weigh
We’ll say hey, maybe we’ve been busy, or hey, maybe we changed
I built a boat, just to see how it sails
You’re shoveling coal and you’ve mapped out the rails
So I make friends with sailors for they know the sea
And you ride the rail-cars, oh the places you’ve been
[Chorus]
If you’re ever in my town, if I ever float by,
If you’re caught in the cold under Hamilton skies
Then watch for the water, I’ll be riding the tide
We’ll shake hands in the harbor, split a bottle of rye
We’ll say hey, maybe we’ve been busy, or hey maybe we changed
These fires they’ll burn forever, though there’s days when you don’t feel their flame
So what are we doing complaining about the weather?
It snows in the winter, come springtime it rains
[Chorus]
