Lyrics

When my ship comes in
Buy you a mansion on a hill overlooking the sea
Buy you diamond rings, ribbons and things
But for now, all I have is my love.

But I'll put on a clean white shirt
Clean the concrete from under my nails
We'll go down to the bar and make out in the car
And listen to old country songs
And slow dance into the dawn.

Today I worked real hard, I poured 40 yards
And I stopped at the pub for a few
I forgot the bread, and something else that you said
As I rest here on the kitchen floor

But I'll put on a clean white shirt
Clean the concrete from under my nails
We'll go down to the bar and make out in the car
And listen to old country songs
And slow dance into the dawn.

I know what I hold is both diamonds and gold
You give a beautiful light
You're a poet's words, a rhyme and a verse
Sweet refrain, and we dance

We'll go down to the bar and make out in the car
And listen to old country songs
And slow dance into the dawn.
