  know. -                                        [Well you ] 


Well you drink for ten 
And you smoke for twenty 
And your fickle heart 
Will never be true 
But still I feel 
The wind in from the harbor 
That's when I know 
The longing for you 
That's when I know 
The old longing for you 

I saw you 
In my mind's eye 
You were laid out 
On your final day 
I stood in line 
To see that handsome face once more 
Had been so dear to me 
I kissed you as you lay 
Had been so dear to me 
I kissed you as you lay 

Now whenever 
I do travel 
If to England 
Portugal or Spain 
As I do walk 
By the shipyards and the harbor 
I smell the salt and the bay rum 
Of your ghost again 
I know the salt and the bay rum 
Of you beside me again
