Shore Leave歌词

Well with buck shot eyes and a purple heart
I rolled down the national strolland with a big fat paycheckstrapped to my hip sackand a shore leave wristwatch underneathmy sleevein a
Hong Kong drizzle on
Cuban heels
I rowed down the gutter to the
Blood Bankand
I'd left all my papers on the
Ticonderogaand was in a bad need of a shaveand so
I slopped at the corner on cold chow meinand shot billards with a midgetuntil the rain stoppedand
I bought a long sleeved shirtwith horses on the frontand some gum and a lighter and a knifeand a new deck of cards (with girls on the back)and
I sat down and wrote a letter to my wifeand
I said Baby,
I'm so far away from homeand
I miss my
Baby soI can't make it by myself
I love you so
Well I was pacing myselftrying to make it all lastsqueezing all the lifeout of a lousy two day passand
I had a cold one at the
Dragonwith some
Filipino floor showand talked baseball with a lieutenantover a
Singapore slingand
I wondered how the same moon outsideover this
Chinatown faircould look down on
Illinoisand find you thereand you know
I love you
Babyand I'm so far away from homeand
I miss my
Baby soI can't make it by myself
I love you so
