matthew ryan – lights of the commodore barry lyrics
i saw the lights of the commodore barry
from the deck of the ghost of the flower street ferry
and i felt the shock of an atom bomb
when the tired old city of chester
was draped and dying in my arms
for a while i was lost under the weight of remembering
of how the sun would warmthe projects some mornings
when the birds were falling like winter’s frozen rain
and i was all fingers numb holding a brown paper lunch
twelve years old and already ashamed
now soon i was floating over highland avenue
by my side was the red cross, the pope and the president too
yeah i had returned like i swore i would
to right some wrongs and sing my song
and share the luck that every man should
but when the fever broke and i awoke from the dream
i was p-ssed out beside a jukebox siphoning gasoline
when my brother yanked me hard from the corner bar
and carried my drunk bones all the way home
draped and heavy in his arms
