[Verse 1]
The skies over Cuba turned pink with the light
And the waterfront ritual began to ignite
All the ships in the harbor were warmed by the sun
Twenty-fifth of November, 1921
[Verse 2]
On the old Chickamauga, the signal jacks flew
And the message they spelled out caused a great ballyhoo
Every ship in Havana then hoisted away
All the pennants were a-flyin' on my dad's first birthday
[Chorus]
Enduring echoes call out from his past
Time ain't for savin', no, time's not for that
Chasing false echoes like a lost legionnaire
He waltzes on memories while he fades like a flare
[Verse 3]
Now his storybook childhood was not make believe
On the decks of a tall ship, he was taught to achieve
Witnessed storms and starvation, natural wonders and force
Oh, the life of a sailor steers a wanderin' course
[Chorus]
Enduring echoes call out from his past
Time ain't for savin', no, time's not for that
Chasing false echoes like a lost legionnaire
He waltzes on memories while he fades like a flare
The skies over Cuba turned pink with the light
And the waterfront ritual began to ignite
All the ships in the harbor were warmed by the sun
Twenty-fifth of November, 1921
[Verse 2]
On the old Chickamauga, the signal jacks flew
And the message they spelled out caused a great ballyhoo
Every ship in Havana then hoisted away
All the pennants were a-flyin' on my dad's first birthday
[Chorus]
Enduring echoes call out from his past
Time ain't for savin', no, time's not for that
Chasing false echoes like a lost legionnaire
He waltzes on memories while he fades like a flare
[Verse 3]
Now his storybook childhood was not make believe
On the decks of a tall ship, he was taught to achieve
Witnessed storms and starvation, natural wonders and force
Oh, the life of a sailor steers a wanderin' course
[Chorus]
Enduring echoes call out from his past
Time ain't for savin', no, time's not for that
Chasing false echoes like a lost legionnaire
He waltzes on memories while he fades like a flare
