lyrics

Here stand I sand between my toes
Longing for the home that I have never known
Worn down shoes and worn down clothes
And no where to lay down my worn down clothes

There stands Billy a dream in his eye
One leg short and glass drunk dry
He smells like sea shells sleeps under the sky
And he'll play that tune til the day he dies

Oh roll you rolling waters
And Billy, play us a tune
Won't you play it for me
I long for the sea
And nobody plays like you, like you
Nobody plays like you

It's sixteen years since we sailed to the sea
And time's been no friend to you or to me
It's sixteen years since we sailed to the sun
And Billy what have we done, done, done
Billy what have we done?

Oh roll you rolling waters
And Billy, play us a tune
Won't you play it for me
I long for the sea
And nobody plays like you, like you
Nobody plays like you
