Lyric Single Handed Sailor

Two in the morning dry-dock town
The river rolls away in the night
Little gypsy moth she s all tied down
She quiver in the wind and the light

Yeah and a sailing ship is just held down in chains
From the lazy days of sail
She s just a lying there in silent pain
He lean on the tourist rail

A mother and her baby and the college of war
In the concrete graves
You never wanna fight against the river law
Nobody rules the waves
Yeah and on a night when the lazy wind is a-wailing
Around the Cutty Sark
The single handed sailor goes sailing
Sailing away in the dark

He s upon the bridge on the self same night
The mariner of dry dock land
Two in the morning but there s one green light
And a man on a barge of sand

She s a gonna slip away below him
Away from the things he s done
But he just shouts hey man what you call this thing
He could have said Pride of London
On a night when the lazy wind is a-wailing
Around the Cutty Sark
Yeah the single handed sailor goes sailing
Sailing away in the dark
