Slave Ships Songtext
von Marie Danielle

He grabbed a bottle and drank it down
Found a well in which to drown
He was dreaming of a sweeter shore
At least one sunnier than hers

She stayed up the whole night through
Morning broke black to blue
In a messy bedroom on the edge of town
She ain′t ever been good enough to keep around
She said


Please kiss me while my eyes are still open
I'll be anything you want me to be
Every promise that′s made is already broken
Like a slave ship tossed out on the sea

Even together they were all alone
Building a house don't make a home
Windows shattered, they boarded up the front door
Ain't nobody live in that house no more
They said

Please kiss me while my eyes are still open
I′ll be anything you want me to be
Every promise that′s made is already broken
Like a slave ship tossed out on the sea

Just another slave ship out on the deep blue sea
Another slave ship lost at sea
