western star – paper leather and lead lyrics

[verse 1]
n0body’s here to write it down
who will remember but you and me?
so let’s put it down for the history books
just some back pages in my diaries
while i write these words, brother please
won’t you draw a picture for me?
and i’ll sing you a song, that’ll hold on like a memory
in a little house on a cliff by the beach
watching the knights sail into the breech
riggin’ it up and working it out, just like the heroes that we read
odysseus, poseidon, yeah, the old man and the sea
all know you can’t get a little bit of love
without a little bit of misery

[pre+chorus]
hear the rush of the waves and the wash of the water
over the docks and the deck
hear the wind of the cannonball that’s rollin’ through my head
will anyone remember us, after all is done and said?

[chorus]
well, they will, as long as we keep pushing paper, leather and lead
yeah, they will, as long as we keep pushing paper, leather and lead
yeah, they will, as long as we keep pushing paper, leather and lead
yeah, they will…
[verse 2]
we got a fire set on the stones, as the sun starts to do the same
shadows of the masts mingle with the silhouette of a salty dog mountain range
so come warm your hands, sailors, share in singing my songs
the words are falling off my page
into the sand, where they start to rearrange
i could stay here forever, or we could settle down back east
but i hear that western whistle wail
and cry out the name of the beast
so while the old men wait up in the lighthouse
warning sailors of the bar and the beach
some of us will keep on sailing ’til we’re far out of reach
some of us will keep on sailing ’til we’re far out of reach

[pre+chorus]
hear the rush of the waves and the wash of the water
over the docks and the deck
hear the wind of the cannonball that’s rollin through my head
will anyone remember us, after all is done and said?

[chorus]
well, they will, as long as we keep pushing paper, leather and lead
yeah, they will, as long as we keep pushing paper, leather and lead
yeah, they will, as long as we keep pushing paper, leather and lead
yeah, they will, as long as we keep pushing paper, leather and lead
yeah, they will, as long as we keep pushing paper, leather and lead
