Howlin' A Gale Lyrics - Howe Gelb

Well the soul rides 

somewhere inside 

cause the body is a boat 

and maybe mistakes 

were only made to make 

but you better make a note 

land ho, land ho, 

land ho, land ho 

now you?re filling up 

filling up with foam 

and no way to bail 

yeah you?re filling up 

no way to find yourself back home 

and there?s a hole in your pail 

{CHORUS} and the wind kicks in 

the way she loves to wail 

and it?s howling a gale 

it?s howling a gale 

water?s getting higher 

up to the brim 

and you?re turning pale 

water?s getting higher 

and it?s all coming in 

and the wind begins to wail 

{CHORUS} 

alone she stands on a pier 

waiting for her love to appear 

but the wind, she loves to wail 

{CHORUS} 

well the soul rides 

deep inside 

cause the body, she?s a boat 

mistakes were made to make 

but you better take note 

better keep a float 

{CHORUS}
