[Verse] Another Friday dance hall drunken night, hung over til morning Unfamiliar bedsit passion rubber-stamped with a government health warning Milk, mail, then headaches arrive, I'm counting cracks in the ceiling There's toast and closeness, but I'm all confused with this warm, unfamiliar feeling [Chorus] For the glass is rising and the temperature's high But I'm still falling slowly [Verse] No conversation, no forwarding address, no ties, it goes without saying Just love well and leave and then off with the tide Was the game that I thought I was playing But back in my steel world, trapped by the freedom How I feel therе's no way of knowing And the routine can't hide, thеre's no turning back And the need to be near you is growing [Chorus] For the glass is rising and the temperature's high But I'm still falling slowly [Verse] A cold back against a bulkhead, sleepless now at midnight She buries her head in the dark, dark seas and I wonder, are you alright? Then a voice comes on the radio, confirms we've got foul weather Can you hear that same voice far away? Do you wish that we were together? [Bridge] There's no bawdy barroom tales of weekend conquest You've left this sailor all at sea And I'm alone with my private thoughts, warm in the memory Can this be happening to me? [Verse] So, I'll just dream about the shore lights that'll tell me that I'm home And I'll step down upon the quay side, and maybe wonder why I roam For we may be more than a weekend obsession Perhaps I'm always a sailor But I know I want you, and I know I need you As a lover but not as a jailer [Chorus] For the glass is rising and the temperature's high But I'm still falling slowly Yes the glass is rising and the temperature's high But I'm still falling slowly
