The Albatross (Album Version)

The Albatross (Album Version) - Rickie Lee Jones

There there is my ship finally come in

I see the mast rolling on the steps

Over the garden wall

I hear the sailor's call

I see the albatross

Over and down now I'll go home

Home to my children I left behind

Long ago with my mother the moon

That's where my father is

This broken heart is his

Archipelago is turning turning to strangers

Here in the world turning to strangers

Oh they hold on

Here here's where we live

Here is a sea my family

We'll always be young as we've ever been

Death will not part us again nearer to heaven than

10 000 ancestors who dream of me

Well I hear you dreaming of me

Yeah sometimes dream of me
