Hamilton Leithauser - Cross-Sound Ferry (Walk-On Ticket) Lyrics

John, I've missed you
Where you've been?
The boys been asking
About you again

They went out smoking
On the outer deck
In just a moment
They'll all come running back

In the winter
Traffic's thinner
They run the boats
But they're few and far between

Oh, see New London
Harbor sparkling
Let's come by
'Cause me and the guys are
Riding right back to

Greenport
New York

I was rumbling with that thunderhead
Rolling on the summer swells
I had enough of my landline
There, I'll tell you all about it

I would know you anywhere
I would know you anywhere
Riding round the carousel
Eyeballs wheeling in your skirt

Rolling on the summer swells
Rumbling with the thunderheads
The morning comes, the Cayman wind

But I don't hear 'em anymore
But I don't hear 'em anymore
Bodies come and bodies go

All my daughters, they have grown
And the rooms are large at home
I wish the days never end
I wish the days never end

I may have been the captain
The corner boys
Tapping too long, my corduroys
Something to jack up the background noise
Something to jack up the background noise

I would know you anywhere
I would know you anywhere
