Song Lyrics

go get my good friends and go fetch my glass for me
i'll sit here and share my bottle and we'll all wait and see
it used to be she loved me it used to be she'd take my time
but i waited too long i woke up and now she's not mine
hey there my good friends won't you sit a while with me
stay here and drink away time till we all just can't see...no we all can't see

that the captain is wasted he's been drinking all night
and we're headed out to sea
it's the worst storm i've seen in 15 years
and well i just can't seem to believe
that she won't be waiting for me
no she won't be waiting for me

i've been waiting for days to turn into nights for so long
i'll just sit here alone watching the tone turn to blue
maybe i tried, maybe i was looking for you
i got lost in the waves this bottle has taken my mind
hey there my old friends won't you sit a while with me
stay here and drink away time till we all just can't see...no we all can't see

that the captain is wasted he's been drinking all night
and we're headed out to sea
it's the worst storm we've seen in 15 years and i just can't seem to believe
that she won't be waiting for me
no she won't be waiting for me
so i cry load up the cannons and go get the guns
we'll fight through all that we see
i've got nothing to lose cause she's taken my heart
and she won't be waiting for me
no i just can't seem to believe
that she won't be waiting for me.
