Mallows Bay Lyrics

Yes she hailed from Lloyd harbor

And we drank beers beside the water

And I fell in love with her

And as we sailed into Mallows Bay

Wooden ships rusting away

There she stole my heart away

Maybe was her game

Beauty was her claim

And I could sense the hesitations

As we kissed among the galleons

And the Old Don steered us onwards

But she was queen among the angels

And like them vessels

Said I was heading for a fall

Now I can't sleep

And I'm left to wonder

Where she might be

And if she will return

And could I've ever had my way

Now only ghosts will hear me pray

Down in Mallows Bay

Yes my heart was skipping beats

Summer in the Chesapeake

And I was lifted off my feet

And like the hulls before my eyes

I got to sinking, did the skies

Send a demon in disguise?

Maybe was her game

Beauty was her claim

On the shores of the Chesapeake

The weather's poor and the future's bleak

And the gods play hard to seek

And I guess I lost my way

Down in Mallows Bay

And she haunts me to this day

Now I can't sleep

And I'm left to wonder

Where she might be

And if she will return

And could I've ever had my way

Now only ghosts will hear me pray

Yes could I've ever had my way

Now only ghosts will hear me pray

Down in Mallows Bay
