Lightfoot Gordon Triangle Lyrics

Triangle Lyrics

Oh the gist of it all is the first day of fall is the day when my ship
will
set sail
The best of all friends will say good-bye again there's still time
for
one last glass of ale
We'll sail away proudly, our backs to the wall
on a southwind and lots
of good cheer
And when we've looked over the
white cliffs of Dover, We'll be in Bahama
next year
>From Bermuda on down
the Triangle around us will teach us a lesson or
two
There's many a mate
who unevenyly stated the course he had charted was
true
"Don't worry
'bout me," he said "Go down below, give a certified sailor
a turn,
Just
sip on your rum or I'll give you my thumb and say, son you got
something t'
learn!"
It's a mighty hard way to come down
And a mighty fine way to be
found
So hand me my grip from an old sailing ship
Put the kiss of the
dawn on my lips
With some luck tonight I might have her at my
fingertips
Oh the best of all things is the first day of spring when when
the water
runs heavy and fast
The mermaids have all gone to Davy Jones'
Ball
And it seems their first trip was their last
They had so much
fun
They don't wish to return
to the beach where they lay all day
long
They'd rather stay under
And boy it's no wonder
When all the rock
lobsters roll on
It's a mighty fine way to be found
Triangle
Triangle
Oh see my ship dangle
We're bound for Bahama my friend
Like
lovers like danger
Like babies like mangers
But that's where my storybook
ends
Like soldiers of fortune, believers in God
And all kings without
crosses to bear
All sweepers and cleaners
with no misdemeanors
Should
try the triangle out there
It's a mighty hard way to come down
And a
mighty fine way to be found
So hand me my grip
>From an old sailing
ship
Put the kiss of dawn on my lips
With some luck tonight
I might
have her at my fingertips
When she took her last tumble
The sea bottom
rumbled
There was no confusion or blame
The captain said "Men we must
answer again to the sea so ye may not
complain"
And as they lay sleeping
down there in the deep
With their faces turned up to the stars
A tuna
fish turned
To a mermaid in bed and said
"There goes another
sandbar"
It's a mighty hard way to come down
And a mighty fine way to be
found
So hand me my grip
>From an old sailing ship
Put the kiss of the
dawn on my lips
With some luck tonight
I might have her at my fingertips
