Song for Dave

[Verse 1]
Damn bottle comin' back to me
Message on the open sea
Self-inflicted piracy
A mate is goin' down

[Verse 2]
Wind and whitecaps, close shave
Coin tossed on every wave
Barrel-chested, hard to save
And fate makes not a sound

[Chorus]
Ay-ee, show your hand
Gonna miss that burly man
Ay-ee, closin' time
Could have fooled me one more time

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Crap shooters every kind
Bar bills hard to find
Jazz band blowin' blind
It's a shame he's not around

[Verse 4]
Buried treasure in smoky rooms
Communists and spittoons
Irish whiskey voice booms
Dave is back in town!

[Chorus]
Ay-ee, show your hand
Gonna miss that burly man
Ay-ee, closin' time
Could have fooled me one more
Could have fooled me one more time
