10 Days Gone - Jack's Mannequin

She’s reading in the bedroom

The dog is in the yard

And I just got back from traveling hard

I’ve been ten days gone

I’ve been ten days gone 'cross the sea

With my girl in a house in the trees

I love her she knows

But sometimes my love goes

'Cross the sea

Paulette is in the garden

It’s the first day of the fall

Lately I’m not getting no see at all

She said stay till you’re strong

Soon you’ll be gone

'Cross the sea

With your girl in a house in the trees

I love her she knows

But sometimes my love goes

'Cross the sea

The sea

The sea

The sea

I went to meet the boatman

He was smoking on his pipe

He said son you look ready

To travel tonight

I think he’s right

Soon I’ll be gone 'cross the sea

With my girl in a house in the trees

I love her she knows

But sometimes my love goes

'Cross the sea

Because she knows in the oceans I’m free

And it makes her so sad

But she never gets mad when I leave
