[Verse 1]
Like an empty bottle washed up by the waves
Like an old schooner slipping slowly to it's grave
Like ghosts of old sailors caught somewhere in time
Like a lone palm watch the world unwind

[Verse 2]
Nowhere to go and nowhere to be
"Trinidad Charlie" on a stool next to me
Reading his book bout the "have" and "have-nots,"
In between chapters we take another shot
And one by one we slide from reality
With nowhere to go, and no where to be

[Verse 3]
There's jerk chicken grilling on the grill
Sure feels good for some time to be still
Even if its only for a little while
Sight of the sails in the wind makes me smile

[Bridge]
Days turn into night
When you're stuck in still life

[Verse 4]
And you got nowhere to go and nowhere to be
"Trinidad Charlie" on a stool next to me
Reading his book bout the "have" and "have-nots,"
In between chapters we take another shot
And one by one we slide from reality
With nowhere to go, and no where to be
