Mona — текст песни (Mike Batt)

I have spent some heavy nights
like every sailor

and I know some seedy ways to spend my pay.
I`ve been arrested in the streets

I`ve been drunk along the beaches of Marseilles.
And you know that when I left
I said I loved you

But you think I`ve got a girl in every town

When the hidden harbour whores
Whisper softly from their doors

I turn them down.

Mona
will you help me to unload my contraband?
I`ve been saving it for you.
I`ve ignored the crimson daughters on the quays of Amsterdam

And that`s not an easy thing to do.
I keep away from the girls in San Francisco

`cause I know my self-control won`t last for long

And a man could lose his head
With a little help from the hookers of Hong Kong.
And as I sail across these endless oceans
I think of you each mile along the way

And I tell myself this boat I am sailing on
Will bring me back one day.
Mona
will you help me to unload my contraband?
I`ve been saving it for you.
I`ve ignored the crimson daughters on the quays of Amsterdam

And that`s not an easy thing to do.
