From the recording Fifteen Years
Lyrics
Down in the darkness I stowed away
A tempest is brewing I heard someone say
It goes on
Like a vagabond
The captain is crazy, the crew is drunk
We’re taking on water but still we ain't sunk
It goes on
Like a vagabond
I can't stop the wind
I can't the tide
I have no idea when the waves will subside
High in the crow's nest
I'm sure they must know
But here in the hold
I'm just going with the flow
I thought I heard the thunder crash
And a lifeboat loosened and dropped with a splash
It goes on
Like a vagabond
Now all the sailors in rocket-ship cars
Are setting their sights on the shores of the stars
It goes on
Like a vagabond
