Like a sailor



Rolling gait like a sailor
Walking down the pier in my dreams
Liberty call liberty call Yea!
Pitch black at Miraflores Locks
Dark water like butterscotch pudding
Lights reflecting off the water
Rolling thunder see the rain
Karpowie flashes of light than darkness
Rains stopped let us go home!
Time flies while at sea
Sky blue water stays calm as glass
Unbelievable next call Panama
Good thing for our memories
Time passes slowly as a kid
Soon we all grownup!
Did you have fun or what?
Don't remember anything do you?
Not too worry time soon all gone!
