Milwaukee - Maritime

Everyone knows you were going

But I couldn’t tell you when

You bought a postcard, your hands were new

And I knew I couldn’t take you there

To a place that doesn’t cast such a shadow

And the winter don’t last so long

In our throats the war was born, then it’s gone

Oh yeah, Milwaukee

Milwaukee, you’re my one horse town

Milwaukee, Milwaukee

I knew we’d run with the tempo

And beat up your traffic hard

All the words I’ve writ, which build sings in

A glass sleep on the waking wall

In a place that doesn’t cast such a shadow

And the waiting don’t last so long

In our coats, your hands are warm, and they’re ours

Oh yeah, Milwaukee

Milwaukee, you’re my one horse town

Milwaukee, Milwaukee
