Last boat leaving 歌词

Hush my little one don't cry so You know your Daddy's bound to go They took his pride They took his voice Don't upset him now, don't make a noise They said "You're lucky son you've still got a choice" Last boat leaving Don't waste your tears It's not as if I'm in chains I don't want to go now, it would be better for you, too, if I don't look back when we sail Hush my dear, while I whisper it in your ear We're not going to sail tonight We're going to disappear And it feels like a punishment, but I don't know what for Take care of your mother, son, it's you that she adores 'Cos no matter how long we sail we'll never reach the shore Last boat leaving So dry your tears It's not as if I'm in chains When you go to school, son, you'll read my story in history books Only they won't mention my name So hush now, my darling, my sweet little one I hope that you never have to do what I've done Do you know what I've done? Why I'm going away? On the last boat leaving this stinking town It's the last boat leaving, it's the last boat leaving You've had my innocence, you've had my heartbreak You've taken the place where I once belonged Now what more can you take?
