She's reading in the bedroom
The dog is in the yard
And i just got back from traveling hard
I've been ten days gone

I've been ten days gone cross the sea
With my girl in a house in the trees
I love her she knows but
Sometimes my love goes cross the sea

Paulette is in the garden
It's the fist days of the fall
Lately i'm not getting no sleep at all
And she said you stay till you're strong

Soon you'll be be gone cross the sea
With your girl in a house in the trees
I love her she knows but
Sometimes my love goes cross the sea
The sea (x4)

I went to meet the board man
He was smoking on his pipe
Said son you look ready to travel tonight
I think he's right

Soon i'll be gone cross the sea
With my girl in a house in the trees
I love her she knows but
Sometimes my love goes cross the sea

'cause she knows in the oceans i'm free
It makes her so sad
But she never gets mad at me
