White Jacket by The Giraffes Lyrics

Waiting for tide to rise
My heart in my shoes
Broken and bleary eyed
A mariner croons
Left all my life behind
For open and endless brine
It's criminal mastermind
But what can i do

I came here with lots of time
Early last June
With plenty of friends i climbed
Straight to the moon
But she was no friend of mine
Give me the rum the wine
Give me a gun to shine
And watch as I swoon

La di da

I gave up my other life
And ran for the dunes
Watching the ships go by
Night after noon
Winded and over dried
Leather and rawest hide
Broken and calcified
A Mariner croons
La di da
