Текст Patty Loveless – Ships
Текст:
Eddie had a few days comin’
So he took a Las Vegas jaunt
Out to the land of supply and demand
Where you can get anything you want
No, he didn’t believe in that stuff
Eddie LeGrande was a hard workin’ man
Who just needed a little good luck
His shoes were a little worn
His hair was a little thin
Just another old sailor
Waitin’ on his ship to come in
Lily was a two time loser
Who said that love was just a roll of the dice
She acted real tough, said once ain’t enough
For me I learned my lesson twice
But deep in her heart lived a young girl
Dreamin’ a young girl’s dream
And that young girl was who Eddie ran into
Over by the slot machines
Her face was a little pale
Her dress was a little thin
Oh but lookin’ at her was like
Watchin’ his ship come in
Well, he bought her a cup of coffee
With the quarters he meant to play
They went for a bite and they talked all night
‘Til they said what they needed to say
Then they found ’em an all night chapel
With a heart shaped honeymoon suite
Two hearts can’t be beat
And he’s singin’ a little song
She’s grinnin’ a little grin
And they’re holdin’ each other
Watchin’ their ship to come in
Her face was a little pale
His hair was a little thin
But they’re two young lovers
Watchin’ their ship to come in
Just holdin’ each other
Watchin’ their ship to come in
