The Widowers - Tanker Lyrics

And I know that I can't stay
When my heart is leaving
It's the way of the modern man
And I hope you see it
Whenever we're so still
I sober up, yeah
Whenever we're so still
I start to run

And I know
It's such a shame
You keep me when you keep me
Until you can't
And I know
It's such a shame
You keep me
Until you can't

And I know I promised things
A way to live, a way to leave
I'd be your working man
In a tanker in the sand
I'd be your working man
In a tanker, yeah

And I know
It's such a shame
You keep me when you keep me
Until you can't
And I know
It's such a shame
You keep me
Until you can't

Promised time and different means
A way to live, a way to leave
And I want you, babe

And I know
It's such a shame
You keep me when you keep me
Until you can't
And I know
It's such a shame
You keep me
Until you can't
