[Verse 1]

Bar illuminations shiver

Shadows on the street

The Cypriot sailors

Find the world back at their feet

[Chorus 1]

Endless days of tobacco nights by the radio

I wonder if they'll ever go to heaven

Heaven

[Verse 2]

The beer mats are wading

In a table of froth

The bar girl is serving

With a checked drying cloth

[Chorus 2]

She'll bend over backwards

Even though she's knackered

I wonder if there'll have her up in heaven

Heaven

[Bridge]

Like the sailors, I walk home, it's 6:00 a.m

Heaven's 'round the corner in a comfortable bed

And I love her

[Verse 3]

The officers and seamen

Elbow places at the bar

Words that tempt the goddess

Don't leave beats upon the heart

[Chorus 3]

But she'll service his pleasure

And never know the treasure

That his wife keeps forever up in heaven

Heaven

[Verse 4]

The first light of the morning

Proves too much for the streets

No one sees each other

Just their presence there to meet

[Chorus 2]

Your chin takes to stubble

At the sight of a funnel

And the gangplank is no trouble up to heaven

Heaven

[Bridge]

Like the sailors, I walk home, it's 6:00 a.m

Heaven's 'round the corner in a comfortable bed

And I love her
