Lyrics

Chester Copperpot, thanks a lot
You know a good man is surely hard to find out here
I’ve been weeping in the parking lot
I’ve been weeping for the ones who disappear
Did you really disappear?

Well it started out as a memory
I watched them drag you down by the bottom of your feet
You said, "I think these pirates got the best of me
I can see their daggers in the eyes of everyone I meet,
I’ve suffered terrible defeats"
And I hang my head


Ooh sweet silver dollar, but I know that help is on the way
They take me down below the water but I try to be brave


Chester Copperpot drank a lot
He would sleep by the rail yard and hide inside his coat
He never quit when the times got hard
He wore a pair of black laces in a pair of brown leather shoes
He had nothing to lose

Some of us stand with our face to the fire
But all of us breathe the smoke
Love, will always get you in the end
Unspoken, lost not broken, love
Did you take me for a fool, I’m a shipwreck swimming back to you

Ooh sweet silver dollar, but I know that help is on the way
They take me down below the water but I try to be brave

Well I try to be brave, I try to be brave
You’re my sweet silver dollar, you’re my sweet silver dollar
