lyrics

There's a girl the place I'm going
There's a girl the place I've left
I am sailing on the ocean
Fill my sails with your hot breath.

In Singapore is a high tower
I'll be scrambling down the stones
But we still have another hour
For you to see what hot breath's blown.

A man is dying, cold and lonesome.
Shadows are lifting with the sun.
I am leaving on the ocean.
Now you see what hot breath's done.

I'm sorry for your trouble, Lady.
So I'll go and come no more.
Though your hot breath threatens to delay me
I heed the call of the golden moidore.

I sold my fur coat in an alley
For a wind to push me South
But my shame is riding in the galley,
For I love her dirty mouth.
