Billy Joel - The Downeaster "Alexa" слова песни


Well I`m on the Downeaster "Alexa"
And I`m cruising through Block Island Sound
I have chartered a course to the Vineyard
But tonight I am Nantucket bound

We took on diesel back in Montauk yesterday
And left this morning from the bell in Gardner`s Bay
Like all the locals here I`ve had to sell my home
Too proud to leave I worked my fingers to the bone

So I could own my Downeaster "Alexa"
And I go where the ocean is deep
There are giants out there in the canyons
And a good captain can`t fall asleep

I`ve got bills to pay and children who need clothes
I know there`s fish out there but where God only knows
They say these waters aren`t what they used to be
But I`ve got people back on land who count on me

So if you see my Downeaster "Alexa"
And if you work with the rod and the reel
Tell my wife I am trolling Atlantis
And I still have my hands on the wheel

Now I drive my Downeaster "Alexa"
More and more miles from shore every year
Since they told me I can`t sell no stripers
And there`s no luck in swordfishing here

I was a bayman like my father was before
Can`t make a living as a bayman anymore
There ain`t much future for a man who works the sea
But there ain`t no island left for islanders like me
