[Verse 1]
I dreamed you were a rich man
And that I had no place to go
I came to you to see if you would take me in
Through golden curtains you told me you'd let me know
[Verse 2]
Well, you drink for ten and you smoke for twenty
And your fickle heart will never be true
But still I feel the wind in from the harbor
And that's when I know the longing for you
That's when I know the old longing for you
[Verse 3]
I saw you in my mind's eye
You were laid out on your final day
I stood in line to see that handsome face once more
Had been so dear to me, I kissed you as you lay
Had been so dear to me, I kissed you as you lay
[Verse 4]
Now whenever I do travel
If to England, Portugal or Spain
As I do walk by the shipyards and the harbors
I smell the salt and the bay rum of your ghost again
I know the salt and the bay rum and you beside me again
I dreamed you were a rich man
And that I had no place to go
I came to you to see if you would take me in
Through golden curtains you told me you'd let me know
[Verse 2]
Well, you drink for ten and you smoke for twenty
And your fickle heart will never be true
But still I feel the wind in from the harbor
And that's when I know the longing for you
That's when I know the old longing for you
[Verse 3]
I saw you in my mind's eye
You were laid out on your final day
I stood in line to see that handsome face once more
Had been so dear to me, I kissed you as you lay
Had been so dear to me, I kissed you as you lay
[Verse 4]
Now whenever I do travel
If to England, Portugal or Spain
As I do walk by the shipyards and the harbors
I smell the salt and the bay rum of your ghost again
I know the salt and the bay rum and you beside me again
