Panama Freighter lyrics

Night close in on a shanty town.
Panama freighter wearing rusty brown.
She sails tomorrow and she`s homeward bound.
Head up on a lumpy sea.

I`m not the only lonely planet rider
in this one horse town, I`m thinking.
And I won`t over-rate or patronize you.

I know we`re as different as chalk and cheese;
as black hole winters and salad days
and I wouldn`t like your mother much anyway.
But it`s not her I`m taking home with me.

Don`t intend to dress you in silver threads
like some trophy in sublime seclusion.
Won`t try to educate or civilize you.

Night close in on a shanty town.
Panama freighter wearing rusty brown.
She sails tomorrow and she`s homeward bound
and you`re bound to come home with me.
On the Panama freighter with me.
