Steamer

Somewhere Over China

Steamer
By: john scott sherrill
1981
For the band
I remember that steamer
Time you set sail
The crowd was steamin'
Streamin' & leanin' on the rail

Then the big whistle blew
And i lost my place
Next thing i knew
I could not find your face

I can see myself dreamin'
The time you came home
Your face was beamin'
Seemin' to stand out alone

Dinner bell chimed
And i found my seat
And your eyes met mine
Your smile was so sweet

I remember that river
First time we made love
Oh i still kinda shiver a little
At what i'm thinkin' of

How your dress it just floated
All down around your knees
And i held my breath, my god my girl
'cause i could not believe

(instrumental)

Most of all it's that steamer
Time you set sail
Ah the crowd's always steamin'
Streamin' & leanin' on the rail

Then the big whistle blows
And i always lose my place
Next thing i know
I cannot find your face
