Drunken ferry boat woman

swayin' on your sea

if I turn on the gasfire

by the rain rattled window

won't you sail over to me



And the hail storm tumbles

the rail line rumbles

you move in the porch with me

on an overcast day

the pale winter city

an afternoon's debauchery



Your blouse your skirt

I'll undo them so gently

with beautiful care

I'm a lonely man

with five bottles of wine

I'd like you to share



The hail storm tumbles

the rail line rumbles

you move through the doors with me

on an overcast day

the pale winter city

an afternoon's debauchery



Orange street light

afternoon becomes night

you drink your wine from a mug

there's cats at the backdoor

the snow is two inches

you roll down your tights on the rug



The hail storm tumbles

the rail line rumbles

you lie on the floor with me

come closer my love

I'm badly in need

of an afternoon's debauchery
