lyrics

Nobody’s here to write it down, who would remember but you and me?
So lets put it down for the history books, just some back pages in my diary.
While I write these words brother please won’t you draw a picture for me?
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 hero’s that we read.
Odysseus, Poseidon, The Old Man and the Sea
all know you can’t get a little bit of love without a little bit of misery.

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?
Well they will as long as we keep pushing paper leather and lead.

Yea they will as long as we keep pushing paper leather and lead
They will as long as we keep pushing paper leather and lead

We got a fire set on the stone 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
Yea some of us will keep on sailing ’til we’re far out of reach

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?
Well they will as long as we keep pushing paper leather and lead.

Yea they will as long as we keep pushing paper leather and lead
They will as long as we keep pushing paper leather and lead
They will as long as we keep pushing paper leather and lead
They will as long as we keep pushing paper leather and lead
