sea legs

Singer:ballroom thieves, the

a dark night at sea

and no one but me

to hold on to these old sails

who's steering this ship

oh

and where is the rest of it

still homesick for a foreign harbor

a home on the range

and a big fire to light the way

these are no cravings of a seafarer

so do what you will with this

my brick of a kiss on your lips

you'll be humming my last words

take what you need

and if risk leads to ruin

my heart would forgive me

take what you need

and if risk leads to ruin

my heart would forgive me

my days all look the same

and i've known these walls by name

'cause my own devils are all heartless lovers

and these sea legs tend to ache

whenever i stay in the same place

it might be good of me to go

if i go

would you take what you need

and if risk leads to ruin

my heart would forgive me

take what you need

and if risk leads to ruin

my heart would forgive me

yeah if risk leads to ruin

my heart would forgive me

i should know by now

how to close my mouth

how to keep my words

from pouring out

i should know by now

how to close my mouth

how to keep my words

from pouring out
