Drunken ferry boat woman
swaying on your sea
if I turn on the gasfire
by the rain rattled window
won't you sail over to me

CHORUS

The hail storm tumbles
the rail line rumbles
you move on the porch with me
on an overcast day
the pale winter city
an afternoon's debauchery

Your blouse your skirt
undo them so gently
with beautiful care
I'm a lonely man
with five bottles of wine
I'd like you to share

Chorus

Orange street light
afternoon becomes night
you drink your wine from a mug
there's cats at the backdoor
the snow it two inches
you roll down your tights on the rug

Chorus

Chorus
