The Call

I'm but a sailor, but of hope, blue, and green Pride for my home and for my family I have sailed through the mainland to the high hope Down through Virginia, back up to my home When failed thyself, rain sleeve the clean Tight vision boldly the more than I have seen I am not far from my family and all with eyes are blue And I'll stay in road island until my time is true But I'll wait for cannon, I'll wait for the call I'll wait for the cannon, I'll wait for the call Has the sun rises light, it goes on the sand Filth of my memory, come to me again Here is a boy, liver paper hands, lay their eggs Mother turn to Jesus kneelin' by the bed But I'll wait for cannon, I'll wait for the call I'll wait for the cannon, and I'll wait for the call I watch the sunset fadin' away My lights, my shadows settle into great Oh, let's hold the TV station for all century And now, I turn my love to you in life to set me free But I'll wait for cannon, I'll wait for the call I'll wait for the cannon, I'll wait for the call Oh, I'll wait for cannon, I'll wait for the call I'll wait for the cannon, I'll wait for the call
