Drunken ferry boat woman

swaying on your sea

if I turn on the gasfire

by the rain rattled window

won't you sail over to me



CHORUS



The hail storm tumbles

the rail line rumbles

you move on the porch with me

on an overcast day

the pale winter city

an afternoon's debauchery



Your blouse your skirt

undo them so gently

with beautiful care

I'm a lonely man

with five bottles of wine

I'd like you to share



Chorus



Orange street light

afternoon becomes night

you drink your wine from a mug

there's cats at the backdoor

the snow it two inches

you roll down your tights on the rug



Chorus



Chorus
