The Mountain Goats — The Lady from Shanghai

[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 [Refrain] As 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!
