we'll be there when his ship comes in
he'll bring you pure silk and some sweet perfume
while the man that plays he'll dance you, dance you round the room
leave the light on he'll be home by eleven
leave the light on he'll be home by eleven

you'll be there when his ship sets off
well the call to sea, you know, is much to strong
his hands will be against the wind and the sunken light
leave the light on he'll be home by eleven
leave the light on he'll be home by eleven
leave the light on he'll be home by eleven

Alejandro Escovedo - Broken Bottle
G..............D.....................C............G
If I could reveal what I feel for you
.................D......................C..........D
mark my words with a gentle kiss
G...............D................C.............G
like Saint George I'd slay the dragon
............D...........G
just to find I'd lost
from outside this window there's walls between
outside is outside and that's where I'll be
I'll be wrapped in the morning dew
just to find you gone
pour me a drink from a broken bottle
fill my glass with the dirty water
what I've lost is gone what I've gained has no name
I'll take my leave once more
La chapelle a la mor, la chapelle a la mor
fools for love in any language
sometimes get burned by the heat of beauty
just to find she's gone
love is a scar that I wear for you
like a crown of thorns, like a bad tattoo
I wear sin like a ring of beauty
just to find you've gone
so pour me a drink from a broken bottle
fill my glass with the dirty water
what I've lost is gone what I've gained has no name
I'll take my leave once more
so pour me a drink from a broken bottle
fill my glass with the dirty water
what I've lost is gone what I've gained has no name
I'll take my leave once more
If I could reveal what I feel for you
.................D......................C..........D
mark my words with a gentle kiss
G...............D................C.............G
like Saint George I'd slay the dragon
............D...........G
just to find I'd lost
from outside this window there's walls between

I'll be wrapped in the morning dew

pour me a drink from a broken bottle

what I've lost is gone what I've gained has no name
I'll take my leave once more
La chapelle a la mor, la chapelle a la mor

I'll take my leave once more
