Lyrics: I was at the breakwall, I was lookin' at the sea In back of the eight ball in some misery There on the horizon stood a mighty ship of fools They were headin' into the harbor with all their broken rules Whenever I'm feelin' lonely I can just pick up the phone Or I can go to the movies or just stay at home alone They're better off to be someplace that's a good long way from home Any way I can lose myself Dawn is breakin', I'm hesitatin', I'm Fading away, fading away They sailed right to meet me, I said what's it all about Please try to excuse me, we can work things out If you've ever wondered if that mighty ship is real Let me tell ya 'bout it brother, it was somethin' you could feel Whenever I'm feelin' lonely I let twilight set the tone Or I can go to the movies or just stay at home alone They're better off to be someplace that's a good long way to roam Ain't livin' high on the hog right now Time is wastin', I'm hesitatin', I'm Fading away, fading away One more day on the calendar on my mind I am down around the break wall puttin' in some time The whole ship of fools has gotten safely under way And I was proud to be a part of what it was they had to say Whenever I'm feelin' lonely I can just pick up the phone Or I can go to the movies or just stay at home alone They're better off to be someplace that's a good long piece from home Any way I can lose myself Dawn is breakin', I'm hesitatin', I'm Fading away, fading away Fading away, fading away |
