Lyrics:

(Brooker Trower Reid) There's you, you're sleeping over there whilst me I'm sitting here with so much sea between us I can't make it much more clear There'll be no time for crying We won't make it more than six I could change my plea to guilty but I don't think it would stick Still those other ratings far too easy to despise You've said so much in silence now I truly am disguised Let him who fears his heart alone stand up and make a speech For him perhaps an emperor's throne if he could only speak Far too few and far to follow For shame I'll heed the cry Be with me when I need a drink be with me when I die Still those other ratings far too easy to despise You've said so much in silence now indeed I am disguised
