gaslight anthem - the navesink banks lyrics

Loading...

all hope abandon, ye who enter here
said the sign i read that was hangin’ above her bed
and the sirens all were wailin’, but a man can ignore the signs
gotta keep a good eye on the windin’ road ahead

and my first sin was a young american girl
my first sin was a young american girl

and i spent time ‘neath the trestles
with the punks and the dime store saints
kept faith and a switchblade stuffed beneath my coat
and i ran with dirty angels, slept out in the rain
we were scared and tired and barely 17

and my first sin was a fear that made me old
my first sin was a fear that made me old

now i walk down by the shipyards
near the place where i was born
sayin’ “oh, maria, if you’da known me when…”

but she only smiles
by the light on the navesink banks
sayin’ “listen baby, i know you now”

then she steps into the river
and i just stand by the moon
thinkin’ ’bout a ghost i hear at night

and she says “your first sin was a lie you told yourself”
“your first sin was a lie you told yourself”
