I fell in love with a sailor 
 Near the docks of my hometown 
 When I was young and full of anger 
 He brought me up when I was down 
    Saying how many years has it been like that 
 And when we wooooo woo woo woo woo 
 I've got trouble tryna lose you 
 And when we wooooo woo woo woo woo 
 I've got trouble tryna care   
 Left the coast in early morning 
 Watched his boat set off to sea 
 Silence is a golden mountain 
 The last words you said to me   
 Saying how many years has it been like that 
 And when we wooooo woo woo woo woo 
 I've got trouble tryna lose you 
 And when we wooooo woo woo woo woo 
 I've got trouble tryna care   
 Well I met this nice girl in a port of town just west of home 
 She told me she didn't like the direction 
 That her life was about to go 
 So I took her on my boat 
 And we made the love under the stars 
 And I told her something about a mountains 
 So she'd leave before night was dark   
 Said how many years has it been like this? 
 Don't leave me dying out here like this   
 And when we wooooo woo woo woo woo 
 I've got trouble tryna lose you 
 And when we wooooo woo woo woo woo 
 I've got trouble tryna care   
 When we know 
 When we know I've got trouble tryna lose you 
 When we know 
 When we know I've got trouble tryna care
