Jethro Tull - The Whaler`s Dues слова песни
Money speaks. Soft hearts lose. The truth only whispers.It`s the whaler`s dues. I`ve been running on diesel. Been running on coal.Running on borrowed time, if truth`s to be told.Two whales in the ocean, cruising the nightsearch for each other before we turn out their light. Been accused of deep murder on the North Atlantic swellbut I have three hungry children and a young wife as well.And behind stand generations of hard hunting menwho raised a glass to the living, and went killing again.Are you with me? Money speaks, soft hearts lose. The truth only whispers.Now pay the whaler`s dues.Can you forgive me? Now I`m old and I sit land-locked in a back-country jailto reflect on all of my sins and the death of the whale.Send me back down the ages. Put me to sea once againwhen the oceans were full --- yes, and men would be men.Can you forgive me?
