Drunken ferry boat woman   swayin' on your sea   if I turn on the gasfire   by the rain rattled window   won't you sail over to me      And the hail storm tumbles   the rail line rumbles   you move in the porch with me   on an overcast day   the pale winter city   an afternoon's debauchery      Your blouse your skirt   I'll undo them so gently   with beautiful care   I'm a lonely man   with five bottles of wine   I'd like you to share      The hail storm tumbles   the rail line rumbles   you move through the doors with me   on an overcast day   the pale winter city   an afternoon's debauchery      Orange street light   afternoon becomes night   you drink your wine from a mug   there's cats at the backdoor   the snow is two inches   you roll down your tights on the rug      The hail storm tumbles   the rail line rumbles   you lie on the floor with me   come closer my love   I'm badly in need   of an afternoon's debauchery
