Jethro Tull - Flying Dutchman lyrics
Old lady with a barrow; life near ending Standing by the harbour wall; warm wishes sending children on the cold sea swell - not fishers of men - gone to chase away the last herring: come empty home again. So come all you lovers of the good life on your supermarket run - Set a sail of your own devising and be there when the Dutchman comes. Wee girl in a straw hat: from far east warring Sad cargo of an old ship young bodies whoring Slow ocean hobo - ports closed to her crew No hope of immigration - keep passing through. So come all you lovers of the good life your children playing in the sun - set a sympathetic flag a-flying and be there when the Dutchman comes. Death grinning like a scarecrow - Flying Dutchman Seagull pilots flown from nowhere - try and touch one as she sails in on the full tide and the harbour-master yells All hands vanished with the captain - no one left, the tale to tell. So come all you lovers of the good life Look around you, can you see? Staring ghostly in the mirror - it's the Dutchman you will be ..floating slowly out to sea in a misty misery |
