The Lady from Shanghai The Mountain Goats

[Verse 1]
The waves were beating
Against the shore
The waves were beating
As if they hadn't before
The dock was soaking
The wood was wet
Your hair blew madly
I can't forget

[Refrain]
We went down to the boat
We went down to the boat
We went down to the boat
We went down to the boat
Yeah

[Verse 2]
The rushing water
The pale sky
Hey, that's a good way
To let the dock dry
You know what I mean
We were slaves
The word was lurching
The dark way
