The Gaslight Anthem - The Navesink Bank - Live lyrics

Artist: The Gaslight Anthem

album: Live at Park Ave


"All hope abandon, ye who enter here"
Said the sign i read that was hanging above her bed
And the sirens all were wailing
But a man can ignore the signs
You gotta keep a good eye
On the winding road ahead
And my first sin was a young american girl
And i spent time 'neath the trestles
With the punks and the dimestore saints
Kept faith in a switchblade tucked beneath my coat
And i ran with dirty angels
Slept out in the rain
We were scared and tired and barely 17
And my first sin was the fear that made me old
And i walked down by the shipyards
Near the place where i was born
Saying "ah maria, if you woulda known me when..."
But she just smiles by the light on the navesink banks
Saying "listen baby i know you now"
And she steps into the river
And i just stand by the moon
Thinkin' 'bout a ghost i hear at night
And she says your first sin was a lie you told yourself
