"Steamer" lyrics

"Steamer"

I remember that steamer, the time you set sail
The crowd was steamin', streamin' and 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

Most of all it's that steamer, the time you set sail
Ah, the crowd's always steamin', streamin' and leanin' on the rail
Then the big whistle blows and I always lose my place
Next thing I know, I cannot find your face
