Salin' can save me 
or I drown evermore 
but I'm on the waves 
with you on the shore 

never mind 
one find day 
in some bar 
by the harbor 
I'll find you 
there you'll be 
as you where 
corner stool 
by the jukebox 
watin' for me 

I can remember 

sweet child 
gone a mile 
swayin' your head 
to the crazy ragtime 
sayin' hey you got a quater? 
hey you look familiar 
hey you got a quater? 
let's dance to the ragtime 

slow down 
don't time fly 
chased your smile 
to some cold dingy attic 
now memories of 
a room we shared 
heaven and home to me longer 
and longer ago 

I can remember 

time's up 
callin' ships all of the sounds 
of a restless harbor 

you said "hey you look familiar 
come on you remember 
hey you got a quater? 
let's dance to the ragtime 
sailin' has saved me 
from drownin' evermore 
but I'm on the waves 
and you on the shore 

never mind 
one find day 
in some bar by the harbor 
I'll find you 
boozy, scared 
breakin' down 
tellin' the bouncer be cool 
'cause you're waitin' for me 

like I been dreamin' 

that's you 
swingin' 'round 
pushin' your way like 
a star to the jukebox 

sayin' hey ya' got a quater? 
hey don't you remember? 
let's dance to the ragtime 
hey ya' got a quater? 

hey don't you remember? 
why must I remember? 

never mind 
one find day 
in some bar by the harbor 
I'll find you 
I'll find you 
I'll find you 

and will dance to the ragtime 
yes will dance to the ragtime 
will we dance and to the ragtime 
yes will dance to the ragtime
