Last Boat Off Of Bainbridge

The city lights before me
As the sunset dies behind
This island's where I pay the bills
But now and then I find
That I'm ferrying so often
They think I'm one of the crew
I'll get the last boat off of Bainbridge
And I'll get back home to you.

The cable and mortgage
The phone bill and the loan
The credit cards and living large
To which we've become prone.
With all the numbers we forget
That one and one make two
I'll get the last boat off of Bainbridge
And I'll get back home to you.

As I open up my wallet
For my fare there at the gate
There's a picture of two newlyweds
Who couldn't hardly wait.
There's so many things I wanted
There were things you wanted too
I'll get the last boat off of Bainbridge
And I'll get back home to you.

And now the horn is sounding
The gate is coming down
I turn and take just one last look
At the island and the town because
the three of you mean more to me
I know it's crazy but it's true
This is my last boat off of Bainbridge
And I'm coming home to you.
