Where it all ends I can’t fathom my friends If I knew I might toss out my anchor So I cruise along always searchin’ for songs Not a lawyer a thief or a banker But a son of a son, son of a son Son of a son of a sailor Son of a gun, load the last ton One step ahead of the jailer I’m just a son of a son, son of a son Son of a son of a sailor The sea’s in my veins, my tradition remains I’m just glad I don’t live in a trailer ---

She waited in vain A figure in black, alone in the rain She still wears my ring A curious thing, a curious thing She told me we would last forever That all she’d ever had was me I’ve just said goodbye Based on a lie that I told to my sweet love But if all she has is you Make sure you’re one in a million If all she has is you Make sure you’re one in a million ---

It was raining hard in 'Frisco I needed one more fare to make my night A lady up ahead waved to flag me down She got in at the light Oh, where you going to, my lady blue It’s a shame you ruined your gown in the rain She just looked out the window She said, “16 Parkside Lane” Something about her was familiar I could swear I’d seen her face before But she said, “I’m sure you’re mistaken” And she didn’t say anything more ---

San Francisco morning coming clear and cold Don’t know if I’m waking or I’m dreaming Riding with Fats Waller on the Super Chief He says “Music’s real; the rest is seeming” Oh, he played, feeling that won’t go away Left the sound of his soul in the air I can feel it out there and I know He left his soul shadows on my mind On my mind, on my mind He left his soul shadows on my mind On my mind, on my mind ---

You’d be hiding in A second-floor apartment Knocking all the stairs down To save your life From the undead Double-barrelled shotgun Picking off the slow ones Then you’d see the passion Burning in my eye And I’d keep my head Then all of your friends, they’d try to kill us But only because they’d be jealous That our love is deeper than Edward and Bella’s If I were a zombie, I’d never eat your brain I’d just want your heart, I’d just want your heart, I’d just want your heart [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-ve-seen-fire-and-i-ve-seen-rain-3/1020396.md?page=51) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-ve-seen-fire-and-i-ve-seen-rain-3/1020396.md?page=53)
