[00:06.47]Let fall your soft and swaying skirt
[00:13.21]Let fall your shoes let fall your shirt
[00:20.14]I'm not the lady-killing sort
[00:27.07]Enough to hurt a girl in port
[00:40.36]Marie's gone blond and lost a stone
[00:46.54]She lay on her lawn spun and alone
[00:53.34]And when the morning sun it rose
[01:00.08]Upon Marie in her lacy clothes
[01:06.07]It led her on and she walked around
[01:13.26]The winding streets of Camden town
[01:19.62]She don't know who she wants to be
[01:26.24]And if I knew I'd tell Marie
[01:31.98]
[01:32.73]Let fall your soft and swaying skirt
[01:38.84]
[01:39.60]Let fall your shoes let fall your shirt
[01:46.27]I'm not the lady-killing sort
[01:53.26]Enough to hurt a girl in port
[02:01.74]
[02:06.55]And Cindy tells me she's had fun
[02:12.67]Sitting backstage someone's plus one
[02:18.78]Up in her room the records spin
[02:25.27]Needle in the grooves that she's worn thin
[02:31.70]She lifts a sleeve and she sees a name
[02:38.19]And she's got a smile on her face
[02:44.62]And she's got a story you can't see
[02:51.29]That's just between that name and Cindy
[02:55.87]
[03:04.86]And before Holly made her way
[03:11.10]Over the sea and far away
[03:17.46]She's telling me inside her car
[03:24.02]Driving us back from the Crystal Corner Bar
[03:30.76]I lost a veil I fell from high
[03:36.87]Cut some fresh pieces from myself
[03:43.86]And for a second something in me
[03:50.29]Said leave today it's time Holly
[03:57.21]It's time
[04:02.64]
[04:03.77]Well I'm a weak and lonely sort
[04:08.82]
[04:10.44]But I'm not sailing just for sport
[04:14.25]I've come to feel out on the sea
[04:22.30]
[04:23.68]These urgent lives press against me
[04:30.73]I'm just a guest I'm not a part
[04:36.90]My tender hands and my easy heart
[04:43.33]These several years out on the sea
[04:49.01]Made me empty cold and clear
[04:52.63]Pour yourself into me
[04:56.93]Let fall your soft and swaying skirt
[05:03.61]Let fall your shoes let fall your shirt
[05:10.16]I'm not the lady-killing sort
[05:16.91]Enough to hurt a girl in port
