Lyrics
But she knows not who i am bellingham, and maybe i believed that she was there looking for me and maybe i just wanted to be found, the ships just passed on by and they still don t understand
And how much did she know it was a lie, a stranger in the rain
For the shipping lanes would mend and change their fortunes and their fates, and standing at the station, and standing at the station
I didn t care, but it s all been a sham
But it s all been a sham, for there s rubble and driftwood
But it s all been a sham, but looking out the window with the weight of my disgrace, and how much did she know it was a lie
the ships just passed on by and they still don t understand
I wrote a note and slipped away, but looking out the window with the weight of my disgrace Allen, the sultry august day
I m glad that they can t see what i see now, and maybe i believed that she was there looking for me and maybe i just wanted to be found, i ll stop right where i am
But she seemed to recognize me alright, the whole town dreamed of steamer fleets
but it s all been a sham
I knew that you would come, what made me think that i could step into a life that wasn t mine Bellingham, i wrote a note and slipped away
and i shuddered in surprise
Where they pooled their dimes to pay for the most majestic dock in the puget, and when they cut the ribbon
The ships just passed on by and they still don t understand, i wrote a note and slipped away
No one ever could say why, she was calling out a name that wasn t mine
Oh just like bethlehem, i just can t explain
Where they pooled their dimes to pay for the most majestic dock in the puget, when the first ship cleared the panama canal
She was calling out a name that wasn t mine, and maybe i believed that she was there looking for me and maybe i just wanted to be found
When every bond i d ever made, where they pooled their dimes to pay for the most majestic dock in the puget, i didn t care
But the little town was glittering, but she knows not who i am bellingham
i just let her leave
I just can t explain, the whole town dreamed of steamer fleets, i ll stop right where i am
oh just like bethlehem
The sultry august day, but i didn t try to clarify, when the first ship cleared the panama canal
When every bond i d ever made, where they pooled their dimes to pay for the most majestic dock in the puget
