[00:10.57]Well I'm on the Downeaster "Alexa"
[00:16.13]And I'm cruising through Lond Island Sound
[00:21.51]I have chartered a course to the Vineyard
[00:26.82]But tonight I am Nantucket bound
[00:33.57]We took on diesel back in Montauk yesterday
[00:39.01]And left this morning from the bell in Gardner's Bay
[00:44.07]Like all the locals here I've had to sell my home
[00:49.63]Too proud to leave I worked my fingers to the bone
[00:53.26]So I could own my Downeaster "Alexa"
[00:59.19]And I go where the ocean is deep
[01:04.51]There are giants out there in the canyons
[01:09.88]And a good captain can't fall asleep
[01:16.57]I've got bills to pay and children who need clothes
[01:21.88]I know there's fish out there but where God only knows
[01:26.82]They say these waters aren't what they used to be
[01:32.38]But I've got people back on land who count on me
[01:35.76]So if you see my Downeaster "Alexa"
[01:41.69]And if you work with the rod and the reel
[01:47.01]Tell my wife I am trolling Atlantis
[01:52.26]And I still have my hands on the wheel
[02:29.69]Now I drive my Downeaster "Alexa"
[02:35.01]More and more miles from shore every year
[02:40.26]Since they told me I can't sell no stripers
[02:45.76]And there's no luck in swordfishing here
[02:51.94]I was a bayman like my father was before
[02:57.63]Can't make a living as a bayman anymore
[03:02.69]There ain't much future for a man who works the sea
[03:07.94]But there ain't no island left for islanders like me
