Channel steamer took my blues away.

Ocean steamer from the empty trail
Wiped my Neptune tears away
In the temple of Osiris' eyes
One rose sold-a fading trail.

Pasolini pictures painted in my head
Cruises 'round the ancient isles
Channel steamer took away my blues
Left me looking for a line.

Channel steamer took it all.
Channel steamer took it all.
Channel steamer took it all.
Channel steamer took away my blues.

Incense strokes your head again
Strides the way you had to go
Pilgrims stroll another way
One rose sold-a fading trail.

Channel steamer took it all.
Channel steamer pushed it all.
Channel steamer took it all.
Channel steamer took away my blues.

On the long last Egyptian night
Isis strolled the staggered Nile
Channel steamer took my blues
Left me looking for a line.

Channel steamer took it all.
Channel steamer took it all.
Channel steamer took it all.
Channel steamer took it all.
Channel steamer took away my blues.

Channel steamer took it all.
Channel steamer pushed it all.
Channel steamer took it all.
Channel steamer took away my blues.
