lyrics

That old vessel calls
He pays no attention, it's been too long
He can hardly feel the wind
When it rolls off the coast
Took the very best of him,
When her casket closed
That harbor was a place they use to call home
He doesn't dare to visit
He's never done that alone

I'm certain that there's nothing left for me here
I'm willing to bet
If I sail out of here right now
Then i'll meet you when the sun sets

He goes for it
With his bible and a full bottle of rum
Well what is there to lose?
I'm on the wrong side of 91
I'm trying with everything that i've got
But i'm running out of memories of you

I'm certain that there's nothing left for me here
I'm willing to bet
If I sail out of here right now
Then i'll meet you when the sun sets

He does all he can to go to weather
He finally can feel the breeze
He's getting close to heaven and her
He's longing for that piece

What the hell?
Who are you?
and what have you done to me?
I was just sailing along
The sun had started setting

I know this is hard to hear but you're a patient, Nick,
You've been for years
Relax and take your medication
We're all right here,
I'm right here
