Leah: The Sequel

Paul Kelly/Bill Miller/Roy Orbison (Sony ATV/Control)

I came to on the beach, somebody pushing up and down on my chest
I was coughing salty water, up above me
     Leah looking mighty distressed
She said “Baby, you’re so lucky, you nearly went to your final rest!”

My hand was clenched, I was still holding that pearl so tight
When they prised my fingers open,
      Leah’s dark eyes opened up so wide
I heard her say “I love you baby, O my heart is nearly
     bursting my side!”

Leah, Leah…

Now Leah’s really mine, we got a hut and a boat by the sea
And every Saturday night she wears that pearl for everybody to see
She says “This is my man! Look at what he did for me!”

Leah, Leah…

Now I’m working in the cannery, hosing down the floor
     for her old man
And I’m hoping I get used to it, ‘cause Leah’s got a ten year plan
She’s hidden my snorkel, says I’m never going diving again

Leah, Leah….
