Greg MacPherson - Man Overboard lyrics

I wear my summer clothes at night A man looks capable when he's dressed in white Stroll on the leeward side Never dress in white on a rising tide She tipped me more than I was worth Don't mistake the intimation of a discount berth Tell the captain he's a lucky man I'll notify my people on shore of the change of plans Loose lips Her reflection off the waves Her reflection off the waves Like oil in the rain A young man's life is living on the ocean Trolling for trophy fish and divorcees Watching the world's problems like a spot on the horizon Wearing white pants and rolling up his t-shirt sleeves The water's an expensive friend By your side from the start but more than a likely end I calculate every risk No rate of return on a chance that's missed Loose lips Her reflection off the waves Her reflection off the waves Like oil in the rain Seafarer sitting in a deck chair, strident through the night flares, flirting with a small town mayor Top coat, waiting for the lifeboat, looking for my pa**port, tell them there's a man overboard
