Lyrics: When twilight rivals the closing day My thoughts go wandering far away, When I gaze at the skies above My thoughts return to the one I love So take me, take me, 'cause I'm feeling lonely Take me back to Lucy's door But don't let her mother know Her mother tell her get steady man A man of letters from wealthy clan And when I call at Lucy's door Her mother tell me "Don't come no more" So take me, take me, 'cause I'm feeling lonely Take me back to Lucy's door But don't let her mother know But I love the sea and I love the sweat It's an honest wage an' I have respect For how much more can there be in life Than happy children and loving wife So take me, take me, 'cause I'm feeling lonely Take me back to Lucy's door But don't let her mother know |
