Spreadeagle - Talking To A Sailor lyrics

I was laughing with a lady When I learned I would be losing later on She was lonely, she was lovely She was only someone longing to be Free off this island and be gone It's such an easy feeling With the laughter all around you You can't always be certain to recall But I know your story And the ending is not a curtain It's a wall, it's a wall We were watching from a window While the water was spurting We waited a little more You'll sailing from a shadow Off the shoreline to the country That you're, mmm-mmm, longing for Oh it's such an easy feeling (It's such an easy feeling) (With the laughter all around you) With the laughter all around you (You can't always be certain to recall) Oh you can't always be certain to recall (But I know your story) I know your story (And the ending is not a curtain) And I know the ending And it's a wall, it's a wall She'll waving to the people At the harbour in the morning She'll be smiling, she'll be wearing pretty lace She'll be talking to a sailor And the tears will be rolling down her face
