Jimmy Buffett - False Echoes Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • The skies over Cuba turned pink with the light
  • And the waterfront ritual began to ignite
  • All the ships in the harbor were warmed by the sun
  • Twenty-fifth of November, 1921
  • On the old Chicamauga the Signal Jacks flew
  • And the message they spelled out caused a great bally hoo
  • Every ship in Havana then hoisted away
  • All the pennants were 'a flyin' on my dad's first birthday
  • Enduring echoes call out from his past
  • Time ain't for savin' no time's not for that
  • Chasing false echoes like a lost legionnaire
  • He waltzes on memories while he fades like a flare
  • Now his storybook childhood was not make believe
  • On the decks of a tall ship he was taught to achieve
  • Witnessed storms and starvation natural wonders and force
  • Oh the life of a sailor steers a wanderin' course
  • Enduring echoes call out from his past
  • Time ain't for savin' no time's not for that
  • Chasing false echoes like a lost legionnaire
  • He waltzes on memories while he fades like a flare
  • Well now life throws us curve balls we never can reach
  • He gave up the ocean but he lived by the beach
  • Where he raised up his family taught us all to survive
  • Then the wind went away in 1995
  • Now the old Chicamauga has slipped by the ways
  • She lies on the bottom of old Mobile Bay
  • Where the ghosts of his father and his brother are near
  • They protect him and tell him there's nothin' to fear
  • Cause it's family tradition we take to the sea
  • And it's a time in the future for Cameron and me
  • Enduring echoes call out from his past
  • Time ain't for saving no time's not for that
  • Chasing false echoes like a lost legionnaire
  • He waltzes on memories while he fades like a flare
  • The skies over Cuba were war
