Cross-Sound Ferry (Walk-On Ticket)

(album: The Loves Of Your Life - 2020)

John, I missed you, where ya been?
The boys been asking about you again
They went out smoking on the outer deck
In just a moment they'll all come running back

In the winter traffic's thinner
They run the boats but they're few and far between
Oh, see New London Harbor sparkling
Well, that's goodbye 'cause me and the guys are
Riding right back to Greenport, New York

Oh, we're rumbling with the thunderheads
Rolling on the summer swells
I had enough of my land life
Well, I'll tell you all about it

I would know you anywhere
I would know you anywhere
Riding round the carousel
Eyeballs wheeling in your skull

Rolling on the summer swells
Rumbling with the thunderheads
"The morning crowds, they came and went"

But I don't hear 'em anymore
But I don't hear 'em anymore
Bodies come and bodies go

Well, my daughters, they have grown
And the rooms are large at home
I wish the days never end
I wish the days never end

I'm aping the captain's recorded voice
Tapping a tune on my corduroys
Something to jack up the background noise
Something to jack up the background noise"

I would know you anywhere
I would know you anywhere
