about

Hank Williams meets a Scottish Fisherman....

lyrics

THE DROWNING STAR

The lights of Edinburgh shone in your eyes
As you walked the streets of Morningside
Your hair was frozen into a river of ice
As an arctic wind blew off the North Sea that night

No you never stood a chance
All your tomorrows were second hand
You were the Captain of The Drowning Star…

You were working late shift at Sandy Bells
When a photo on the late news made you yell
Your stomach churned, your mind froze
There on the screen was your husband’s boat

He never stood a chance
Now all his tomorrows are second hand
He’s the Captain of The Drowning Star

Hank tells the chauffeur, pull over at the lights
I need a bottle of whiskey to see me through the night
He finished it off just before the dawn

Tossed it overboard then he was gone…

Wishing on the Captain of The Drowning Star…

The Drowning Stars

about

trailer star Nottingham, UK

It’s hard going at times but glory can come from misery. The fragility and the feeling of being on the edge of toppling over is balanced by the skeletal beauty of the songs.
Paul Kerr - Blabber n' Smoke
