Paroles de Lights of the commodore barry

I saw the lights of the commodore barry
From the deck of the ghost of the flower street ferry
And i felt the shock of an atom bomb
When the tired old city of chester
Was draped and dying in my arms
For a while i was lost under the weight of remembering
Of how the sun would warmthe projects some mornings
When the birds were falling like winter's frozen rain
And i was all fingers numb holding a brown paper lunch
Twelve years old and already ashamed
Now soon i was floating over highland avenue
By my side was the red cross, the pope and the president too
Yeah i had returned like i swore i would
To right some wrongs and sing my song
And share the luck that every man should
But when the fever broke and i awoke from the dream
I was passed out beside a jukebox siphoning gasoline
When my brother yanked me hard from the corner bar
And carried my drunk bones all the way home
Draped and heavy in his arms
