the ashley davis band - davey jones lyrics

[verse 1]
i am a simple man
i learned to work with my hands out here on these waves
i guess i’ve always known
that i would die alone here one cold november day
i heard that you did take
my brother in the morning, another without warning
who am i to think
that i’d be any different, as god is my witness

[chorus]
i saw davey jones underneath the water
with a thousand of my fathers calling me home
i saw davey jones, waving his black flag
and counting up his bones

[verse 2]
they say when i was five
the day i cast my first line, i fell over the port side
as i was sinking down
i heard my mother singing, i heard the church bells ringing
and when they pulled me in
i felt him tugging my hand

[chorus]
i saw davey jones underneath the water
with a thousand of my fathers calling me home
i saw davey jones, waving his black flag
and counting up his bones
[verse 3]
now the waves have snapped the mast
i’m taking water so fast, i let go of the lines
i can feel my father’s stare
from beyond the grave somewhere, i fail him one last time
’cause i will never be
the man he though i should be, the lesser of his sons
so jesus, help me now
help me to forgive him before the darkness floods in

[chorus]
’cause i saw davey jones underneath the water
with a thousand of my fathers calling me home
i saw davey jones, waving his black flag
and counting up his bones
