Josh Rouse - Slaveship Lyrics

Artist: Josh Rouse

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Folk

  • Songwriters: Josh Rouse

A slaveship, lost at sea
A slaveship, lost at sea
And I'm drowning your waters deep
I'm drowning your waters deep

A spaceship in the country
A spaceship in the country
And we're flying into green
We're flying into green

And I told you a thousand times
(Sold you a thousand lies)
I love you, would you marry me?
I love you, would you marry me?

The city, there's an empty street
The city, there's an empty street
And we're dancing to the lonely beat
We're dancing to the lonely beat

Your building is where we'll meet
Your building is where we'll meet
And I'm hungry, lets get something to eat
I'm hungry, lets get something to eat

'Cos I told you a thousand times
(Sold you a thousand lies)
I love you, would you marry me?
I love you, would you marry me?

Your daddy, he ain't like me
Your daddy, he ain't like me
I'm striving, I so wanna be
I'm striving, I got to agree

One day girl, you'll be my queen
One day girl, I'll be your king
And we'll reign in a castle supreme
We'll reign in a castle supreme

'Cos I told you a thousand times
(Sold you a thousand lies)
I love you, would you marry me?
I love you, would you marry me?

'Cos I told you a thousand times
(Sold you a thousand lies)
I love you, would you marry me?
I love you, would you marry me?
