I don't want that girl
To come back through that door
I don't do that cause
I don't want her anymore

I don't walk down to the edge
And fall down on my knees
Keep my nose to the wind
I'll do only what I please

(chorus)
And the road's straight and sober
We're suffering now
Won't you come apart at the seams
And the band's growing older
And the plans, they wear down
And I know we'll never get to sea

On the shore of the banks
We signal with the lights
Lanterns burn with our own
Will flare a thousand nights

Pick up sail, count the coin
The copper and the stone
Fill your belly with fire
And sip the soldier's own

(repeat chorus)

Yeah I know, we'll never get to sea
