joel billy - The Downeaster alexa слова песни
Well I`m on the Downeaster "Alexa"And I`m cruising through Rock Island SoundI have chaartered a course to the VineyardBut tonight I am Nantucket boundWe took on diesel back in Montauk yesterdayAnd left this morning fromhe bell in Gardner`s BayLike all the locals here I`ve had to sell my homeToo proud to leave I worked my fingers to the boneSo I could own my Downeaster "Alexa"And I go where the ocean is deepThere are giants out there in the canyonsAnd a good captain can`t fall asleepI`ve got bills to pay and children who need clothesI know there`s fish out there but where God only knowsThey say these waters aren`t what they used to beBut I`ve got people back on land who count on meSo if you see my Downeaster "Alexa"And if you work with the rod and the reelTell my wife I am trolling AtlantisAnd I still have my hands on the wheelNow I drive my Downeaster "Alexa"More and more miles from shore every yearSince they told me I can`t sell no stripersAnd there`s no luck in swordfishing hereI was a bayman like my father was beforeCan`t make a living as a bayman anymoreThere ain`t much future for a man who works the seaBut there ain`t no island left for islanders like me---------------------------------------------------------
