Pretty Things - Falling Again lyrics

Where the moonlight's on the sleeping sea

A pretty girl stood there at the bus stop

She said hey johnny come and see about me.

She said doop doop.

So many seamen able and willing

Have passed through these arms on their way to the sea

They leave me tokens of love and affection

When i drank from her lips i tasted the sea.

She said doop doop.

How can a young girl hope to survive

Living alone when there's no-one alive

Out in the night she swallows her pride

And she says catch me johnny i'm falling again.

I jumped a freighter bound for mombassa

I worked every day neath a burning sky

L wrote her sea poems and nautical letters

I remember her words till the day that i die.

She said doop doop.
