lirik lagu great big sea – yankee sailor
“yankee sailor”
we were poor
but i was satisfied
and i thought that you were, too
you were pure
and i was terrified
i wasn’t good enough for you
when they sailed
into the harbour
i could see it in your eyes
i knew
that you were dreaming
of leaving me behind
you say “america is beautiful”
and i sure hope you’re right
if i could see you across the water
i’d say “america is beautiful tonight”
i’d say “america is beautiful tonight”
when i met
that yankee sailor
he stood tall and shook my hand
he took pleasure
in the moment
in the measure of a man
then he turned
and left me standing
and he asked you out to dance
but when you met
that yankee sailor
i knew i didn’t stand a chance
you say “america is beautiful”
and i sure hope you’re right
if i could see you across the water
i’d say “america is beautiful tonight”
i’d say “america is beautiful tonight”
beautiful tonight
we were poor
but i was satisfied
and i thought that you were, too
you were pure
and i was terrified
i wasn’t good enough for you
you say “america is beautiful”
and i sure hope you’re right
if i could see you across the water
i’d say “america is beautiful tonight”
i’d say “america is beautiful tonight”
i’d say “america is beautiful tonight”
