Lyrics

The gutter may profess its love
 Then follow it with hesitation
 But there are just so many of
 You out there for rent
 A stronger girl would shake this off in flight
 And never give it more than a frowning hour
 But you have let your heart decide
 Loss has conquered you
 You've won one too many fights
 Wearing many hats every time
 But you won't win here tonight
 You've made it through the direst of straits alright
 Can you help it if plain love now seems less interesting?
 You haven't changed an ounce in my eyes
 And I cannot lecture you
 And does anything I say seem relevant at all?
 You've been at the helm since you were just five
 While I cannot claim to be more than a passenger
 But you've won one too many fights
 Wearing all of your clothes at the same time
 Let the good times end tonight
 Oh girl, sail her, don't sink her
 This time
 Just a moment or two from now
 Not a mind will retain even a trace
 Of the thoughts that I struggled to tell
 And how our stack of cards just fell
 So settle this once and for all
 The light no longer shows the cracks around my door
 And I have no lantern to light your way home tonight
 You are not some saint who's above
 Giving someone a stroll through the flowers
 You've got so much more to dream of
 Oh girl, sail her, don't sink her
 This time
 This time
 This time
