Greg Macpherson Man Overboard

I wear my summer clothes at night

A man looks capable when hes dressed in white

Stroll on the leeward side

Never dress in white on a rising tide

She tipped me more than I was worth

Dont mistake the intimation of a discount berth

Tell the captain hes a lucky man

Ill notify my people on shore of the change of plans



Loose lips

Her reflection off the waves

Her reflection off the waves

Like oil in the rain



A young mans life is living on the ocean

Trolling for trophy fish and divorcees

Watching the worlds problems like a spot on the horizon

Wearing white pants and rolling up his t-shirt sleeves

The waters an expensive friend

By your side from the start but more than a likely end

I calculate every risk

No rate of return on a chance thats missed



Loose lips

Her reflection off the waves

Her reflection off the waves

Like oil in the rain



Seafarer sitting in a deck chair, strident through the night flares, flirting with a small town mayor

Top coat, waiting for the lifeboat, looking for my passport, tell them theres a man overboard
