greencards – davey jones lyrics
i am a simple man
i learned to work with my hands out on these waves
sha, la, la, la, la, la
i guess i’ve always known
i would die alone here one cold november day
sha, la, la, la, la, la
i heard that you did take
my brother in the morning another without warning
sha, la, la, la, la, la
and who am i to think that i’d be any different as god as my witness
i saw davy jones underneath the water
with a thousand of my fathers calling me home
and i saw davy jones wavin’ his black flag countin’ up his bones
they say when i was five
the day i cast my first line i fell over the port side
sha, la, la, la, la, la
as i was sinkin’ down
i heard my mama singing, i heard the church bells ringing
but when they pulled me in i felt him tuggin’ my hand
i saw davy jones underneath the water
with a thousand of my fathers calling me home
and i saw davy jones wavin’ his black flag countin’ up his bones
now the waves have snapped the mast
i’m takin’ water so fast i let go of the lines
and i could feel my father’s stare from beyond the grave somewhere
as i fail him one last time
’cause i would never be the man he thought i should be
the lesser of his sons
so jesus help me now, help me to forgive him
before the darkness floods in
i saw davy jones underneath the water
with a thousand of my fathers calling me home
and i saw davy jones wavin’ his black flag countin’ up his bones
