lyrics

Crow's Feet and Crocodile Tears

It’s riding on the wind
blowing in our hearts
It's singing in the rigging
It’s plotted on the charts

The wreck's on the reef
You probably think
the guy’s all washed up
Give him a push and he'll sink

The hull is breached
the plank is sawn
The anchor's dragging
the sails are torn

Spent my wages
gambled my years
Made me a fistful of
crow’s feet and crocodile tears

I got no time
I got no fear
That’s all just crow’s feet
and crocodile tears

Pockets bulging
with plans and tools
scraps of poems
screwed up like yesterday's news

Heart strings humming
the rigging's taut
Old winds of love songs
echo in the port

Lean a bit closer
I'll tell you where it hurts
Write me a prescription
I'll use it in the next verse

And tell my friends
I love them so
Wherever they are now
they might want to know

I got no time
I got no fear
That’s all just crow’s feet
and crocodile tears
