lyrics

i first saw her
down at the port
she was looking at ship
as they left the sad city

she was happy
or maybe just calm
but no matter what
so unquestionably pretty

she was high on salt breeze
and amphetamines
and everything else
the party girls bring
to the parties

they throw
at the end of the town
as they lay scattered around
slowly sucking their teeth

if you love me will you stay
if you love me you will stay

she's sad when she knows i get drunk
carmen of the port
every night she's with another man
carmen of the port

and i found the house by the river
you said that you want for your
future children

i know 'who am i to talk'
but the boy you just like
likes you more

on the bed we lie down
just like old friends
she lights up a cigarrete
i hum a new tune

and she asks me is this yours
you have written much better before
i believe
what goes wrong with your days

i can't stand all the rot
that comes up from the town
everytime i go out
it burns up my nostrils

and she offers a smile
with a slip of her shirt
and she says 'baby it's fine
after all all is fleeting'

if you love me you will stay
if you loved me you would stay

she's sad when she knows i get drunk
carmen of the port
every night she's with another man
carmen of the port
and she says that she loves me as a son
carmen of the port
but my love is much darker than that
carmen of the port

i found that house by the river
you said that you want for your
future children

i know 'who am i to talk'
but the boy you just like
likes you more
