The Gaslight Anthem - The Navesink Banks

Kishore Kumar Hits — The Gaslight Anthem - The Navesink Banks lyrics

Artist: The Gaslight Anthem

album: Sink or Swim

All hope abandon, ye who enter here
Said the sign I read that was hangin' above her bed
And the sirens all were wailin', but a man can ignore the signs
Gotta keep a good eye on the windin' road ahead
And my first sin was a young American girl
My first sin was a young American girl
And I spent time 'neath the trestles
With the punks and the dime store saints
Kept faith and 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 a fear that made me old
And my first sin was a fear that made me old
And now I walk down by the shipyards
Near the place where I was born
Sayin', "Oh, Maria, if you'da known me when"
But she only smiles
By the light on the Navesink banks
Sayin', "Listen baby, I know you now"
Then 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"
Your first sin was a lie you told yourself
