Blue Desert - Sailor

Betty Grable on the wall keeps my cabin warm

From Casablanca down to Rio, she won’t feel the storm

I only joined the fleet for places and girls I hadn’t see

I didn’t think of all the lonely nights we spend between

Blue desert, blue desert

Wish that I was far away from this blue desert

My only oasis is the bright harbour town

But they’re just distant places and

I never know where I’m bound

Gazing out my porthole view in hopes of sighting land

But just another blue horizon hides the burning sand

I should have stayed behind wherever the girls were good to me

Instead of turning back again to face that lonely sea

(Repeat chorus twice)

Blue desert

Blue desert

Blue desert

Hmmmmmmmmmmm
