I fell in love with sailor
Near the docks of my home down
When I was young and full of anger
He brought me up when I was down
Saying how many years has it been like that
And when we woooah woo woooo wooo wooo
I've got trouble tryna lose you
And when we woooah wooo wooo woah wooo
I've got trouble tryna care
Left the coast in early morning
Watched his boat set off to sea
Silence is a golden mountain
The last words you said to me
Saying how many years has it been like that
And when we woooah woo woooo wooo wooo
I've got trouble tryna lose you
And when we woooah wooo wooo woah wooo
I've got trouble tryna care
Well I met this nice girl in a gorgeous town just west of home
She told me she didn't like the direction her life was about to go
So I took her on my boat and we made love under the stars
I told her something about mountains so she'd leave before night was dark
Said how many years has it been like this?
Don't leave me dying out here like this.
And when we woooooooah woo woooo wooo
I've got trouble tryna lose you
And when we wooooooooo wooo wooo wooo
I've got trouble tryna care
When we know when we know
I've got trouble tryna lose you
When we know when we know
I've got trouble tryna care
