I'm but a sailor, but of hope, blue, and green
Pride for my home and for my family
I have sailed through the mainland to the high hope
Down through Virginia, back up to my home
When failed thyself, rain sleeve the clean
Tight vision boldly the more than I have seen
I am not far from my family and all with eyes are blue
And I'll stay in road island until my time is true
But I'll wait for cannon, I'll wait for the call
I'll wait for the cannon, I'll wait for the call
Has the sun rises light, it goes on the sand
Filth of my memory, come to me again
Here is a boy, liver paper hands, lay their eggs
Mother turn to Jesus kneelin' by the bed
But I'll wait for cannon, I'll wait for the call
I'll wait for the cannon, and I'll wait for the call
I watch the sunset fadin' away
My lights, my shadows settle into great
Oh, let's hold the TV station for all century
And now, I turn my love to you in life to set me free
But I'll wait for cannon, I'll wait for the call
I'll wait for the cannon, I'll wait for the call
Oh, I'll wait for cannon, I'll wait for the call
I'll wait for the cannon, I'll wait for the call
