Dire Straits - Single Handed Sailor lyrics

Two in the morning, dry-dock town<br>The rivers rolls away in the night<br>Little gypsy moth she's all tied down<br>She quiver in the wind and the light<br><br>Yeah and a sailing ship just held down in chains<br>From the lazy days of sail<br>It's just lying there in silent pain<br>He lean on the turist rail<br><br>A mother and her baby and the colege war<br>And the concrete graves<br>You never wanna against the river law<br>Nobody rules the waves<br>Yeah and on the night when the lazy wind is a-wailing<br>Around the cutty sark<br>Single handed sailor goes sailing<br>Sailing away in the dark<br><br>He's upon the bridge on the self same night<br>The mariner of dry dock land<br>Two in the morning, but there is one green light<br>And the man on the barge of sand<br>She's gonna slip away below him<br>Away from the things he's done<br>But he just shouts 'hey man, what do you call this thing? '<br>He could have said 'pride of london'<br>On the night when the lazy wind is a-wailing<br>Around the cutty sark<br>Yeah the single handed sailor goes sailing<br>Sailing away in the dark
