lyrics

I once slept wrapped in velvet curtains
Beside a Steinway grand
Now it’s gone under oily water
How did it happen I don’t understand
Here in Fells Point I can still remember
Music all night long
The bands became my family
The barge was rockin’ until dawn
It hasn’t been the same since the Blue Seas went down
Sank down to the bottom
It hasn’t been the same since the Blue Seas went down
Sank down to the bottom
Here in Fells Point I can still remember
When the barge was swallowed by the sea
A piano and guitar floating in the harbor
Towards the Bay aimlessly
It hasn’t been the same since the Blue Seas went down
Sank down to the bottom
It hasn’t been the same since the Blue Seas went down
Sank down to the bottom
Here in Fells Point I don’t go out much now
Since the Mill and the Market took a dive
Tourists don’t feel like family
Like we did in seventy-five
It hasn’t been the same since the Blue Seas went down
Sank down to the bottom
It hasn’t been the same since the Blue Seas went down
Sank down to the bottom
