Tea Leaf Green - All Washed Up Lyrics
I am standing here today without a dollar to my nameI’ve paid my dues, I’ve jumped my claimI’m a just a child of the wind.And I have sailed, I have sunkI’ve died of thirst, and I’ve been drunkEverything I own is packed into a trunkIt’s at the bottom of the ocean.When the ships go in, the ships go outThe tide rolls in, and my days run outEveryday I’m on the watch for the boat I lostI’m all washed upYes I’m all washed upI have walked down foreign streetsI have heard secrets that I didn’t keepAnd I once loved a girl, she was so sweetShe rotted out all of my teethOh yes the ships go in, the ships go outThe tide rolls in, and my days run outEveryday I’m on the watch for the boat I lostI’m all washed upYes I’m all washed upIt’s easy to get home under a tail windEven when your timbers rot, your anchor’s droppedYour seas are chop, yes you’re all washed up.I’ve been baked, I’ve been burnedI’ve been loved, and I’ve been spurnedI’ve forgotten more than I have ever learnedIt’s all at the bottom of a bottle.When the ships go in, the ships go outThe tide rolls in, and my days run outEveryday I’m on the watch for the boat I lostI’m all washed upYes I’m all washed up
