Great Big Sea
Great Big Sea - Yankee Sailor songtekst
Je score:
We were poor But I was satisfied And I thought that you were, too You were pure And I was terrified I wasn't good enough for you When they sailed Into the harbour I could see it in your eyes I knew That you were dreaming Of leaving me behind You say "America is beautiful" And I sure hope you're right If I could see you across the water I'd say "America is beautiful tonight" I'd say "America is beautiful tonight" When I met That Yankee sailor He stood tall and shook my hand He took pleasure In the moment In the measure of a man Then he turned And left me standing And he asked you out to dance But when you met That Yankee sailor I knew I didn't stand a chance You say "America is beautiful" And I sure hope you're right If I could see you across the water I'd say "America is beautiful tonight" I'd say "America is beautiful tonight" Beautiful tonight We were poor But I was satisfied And I thought that you were, too You were pure And I was terrified I wasn't good enough for you You say "America is beautiful" And I sure hope you're right If I could see you across the water I'd say "America is beautiful tonight" I'd say "America is beautiful tonight" I'd say "America is beautiful tonight"
