[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
