Lyrics
Two in the morning, dry-dock town The rivers rolls away in the night Little gypsy moth she’s all tied down She quiver in the wind and the light Yeah and a sailing ship just held down in chains From the lazy days of sail It’s just lying there in silent pain He lean on the turist rail A mother and her baby and the colege war And the concrete graves You never wanna against the river law Nobody rules the waves Yeah and on the night when the lazy wind is a-wailing Around the cutty sark Single handed sailor goes sailing Sailing away in the dark He’s upon the bridge on the self same night The mariner of dry dock land Two in the morning, but there is one green light And the man on the barge of sand She’s gonna slip away below him Away from the things he’s done But he just shouts ’hey man, what do you call this thing? ’ He could have said ’pride of london’ On the night when the lazy wind is a-wailing Around the cutty sark Yeah the single handed sailor goes sailing Sailing away in the dark
