vigilantes of love – port of entry lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i boarded that steamer
some five years ago
across the north atlantic
through the ice and snow
had a feeling love was with me
she would stoop down as she kissed me
sailed past lady liberty
in new york city

[verse 2]
my thoughts were always with you, girl
i swear you never left ’em
it was ’til i get established
somehow that never happened
i was working eighty hours a week
and tryin’ to keep my health
prayin’ for the day i might
call you to myself

[chorus]
oh sweetness divine, i never meant to treat you bad
why is it when you lose something you find out what you had?
now i never became a banker, nor was i landed gentry
you still hold me in your arms
at my port of entry

[verse 3]
now dreams can feed the spirit
but then lies do the same thing
i’ve never seen anything like you
around these parts here, kid
nation full of promises
full of dreamers, full of schemes
bankrupt with corruption
at the turn of the century

[mandolin solo]

[verse 4]
faithfulness and loyalty
are in short supply these days
i put a little corner on the market
and i hid ’em both away
a treasure chest inside my soul
that only you can open
i will scuttle this ship of proud emotions
the years of blindly groping

[chorus]
oh sweetness divine, i never meant to treat you bad
why is it when you lose something you find out what you had?
now i never became a banker, nor was i landed gentry
you still hold me in your arms
at my port of entry
you still hold me in your arms
at my port of entry
you still hold me in your arms
at my port of entry, oh
you still hold me in your arms
at my port of entry

[outro]
port of entry, no, no, no, no, oh
