Love Among the Sailors

Love Among the Sailors - Laurie Anderson

There is a hot wind blowing

It moves across the oceans

And into every port

A plague

A black plague

There's danger everywhere

And you've been sailing

And you're all alone on an Island now

Tuning in

Did you think this was the way

Your world would end

Hombres

Sailors

Comrades

There is no pure land now

No safe place

And we stand here

On the pier

Watching you drown

Love

Among the sailors

Love

Among the sailors

There is a hot wind blowing

Plague drifts across the oceans

And if this is the work

Of an angry god

I want to look into his angry

Face

There is no pure land now

No safe place

Come with us

Into the mountains

Hombres

Sailors

Comrades
