I fell in love with a sailor
Near the docks of my hometown
When I was young and full of anger
He brought me up when I was down
Saying how many years has it been like that
And when we wooooo woo woo woo woo
I've got trouble tryna lose you
And when we wooooo woo woo woo woo
I've got trouble tryna care
Left the coast in early morning
Watched his boat set off to sea
Silence is a golden mountain
The last words you said to me
Saying how many years has it been like that
And when we wooooo woo woo woo woo
I've got trouble tryna lose you
And when we wooooo woo woo woo woo
I've got trouble tryna care
Well I met this nice girl in a port of town just west of home
She told me she didn't like the direction
That her life was about to go
So I took her on my boat
And we made the love under the stars
And I told her something about a mountains
So she'd leave before night was dark
Said how many years has it been like this?
Don't leave me dying out here like this
And when we wooooo woo woo woo woo
I've got trouble tryna lose you
And when we wooooo woo woo woo woo
I've got trouble tryna care
When we know
When we know I've got trouble tryna lose you
When we know
When we know I've got trouble tryna care
