Dreamboat Songtext
von The Long Lost Band

I recollect a poker hand
Like bourbon over ice
You rode me home in your mama′s car
That night of mysteries
White stars were falling in the air
The harbor under snow
And there she lay, her anchor down
The dreamboat


I sang ballads in books of matches
All eighty-one alone
Till like the new year you hauled in
Salvation from the east
Oh and too soon the sky was red
I heard a whistle blow
She was steaming out into the dark
The dreamboat

The days stack up like sailor's mail
The weather′s fair for now
I walk down to the waterfront
A barge is sliding by
I hang on to an image in
The absurd foam below
Roll back before it all dissolves
Oh dreamboat
