The Grey Funnel Line Lyrics by Emmylou Harris

Bringing It All Back Home, Volume 2

0

Don't mind the rain or rolling sea
The weary night never worries me
But the hardest time in a sailor's day
Is to watch the sun as it slips away
It's one more day on the Grey Funnel Line
The finest ship that sails the sea
Is still a prison for the likes of me
But give me wings like Noah's dove
I'd fly above her to the one I love
It's one more day on the Grey Funnel Line
Oh Lord, if dreams were only real
I'd have my hands on that wooden wheel
And with all my might I'd turn here 'round
And tell the boys that we're homeward bound
It's one more day on the Grey Funnel Line
I'd pass the time like some machine
Until blue water turns to green
Then I'd dance on down that walk ashore
And sail the Grey Funnel Line no more
And sail the Grey Funnel Line no more
