lyrics

we set out to sea with tattered sails,
backs and boughs all broken,
hands all dirty.

we set out to sea with no name,
and no reason to come home again.

my suitcase is heavy with all the nothin' i carry around.

baby, i'll sweep your floors,
tie your teeth to the door.
i don't mind if you need more.

leave my things on the porch.
turn on the light when it's dark.
leave a note on the door.

my suitcase is heavy with all the nothin' i carry around.
