Lyrics

[Intro]
[strummed acoustic guitar in G major]
[Verse 1]
[raspy male vocals enter]
Devils and drunks
Lost in the wayward
Ships on the sea
As the other people's shore
Down on the docks
Found my baby staring
Out beyond the wind and the shore
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm not always on the time I need to be
No, not always saying all that I could say
No, I'm not gonna lie to you and your love away
All these little dreams have faded away
Like I said
Like I said
[Instrumental Break]
[strummed acoustic guitar continues]
[Verse 2]
You got to, got to, got to
(Oh-ho)
Devils and demons
Why they just screaming
Picking up bastards
And shifty people
All those walking legs take the spawn
Where we wander's never where we are
[Chorus]
No, I don't know what I can say but I'm gone
No, I don't know what I can be but it's wrong
No, I don't know what I can be but it's wrong
No, I don't know what you will love but I try
It's hard enough to give up baby now I have to lie
You've got to be
Someone
Someone I love
Just find my way
Someone I love
(Oh)
Don't you know I fell in love with you today
[Instrumental Break]
[strummed acoustic guitar]
[Verse 3]
(Oh)
Heavenly fools
And your breaking dudes
Standing around the archetypal sign
All the beer's been poured
And the wise-crackin's wise
All my little darlings are looking for a guy
All my little darlings looking for a guy
[Outro]
Not out there but I'll be sure to let you know
Not out there but I'll be sure to fly so far
Not out there but I can tell you baby
All that you want is the love that you need
(Oh God, oh God)
Fell in love with my baby
[guitar fades out]
