False Echoes (Havana 1921) - Jimmy Buffett[00:00:00]

The skies over Cuba turned pink with the light[00:00:14]

And the water front ritual began to ignite[00:00:29]

All the ships in the harbour were warmed by the sun[00:00:45]

Twenty-fifth of November Nineteen twenty-one[00:01:00]

On the old Chicamauga the signal jacks flew[00:01:16]

And the message they spelled out caused a great ballyhoo[00:01:32]

Every ship in Havana then hoisted away[00:01:47]

All the pennants were flyin' on my dad's first birthday[00:02:03]

Enduring echoes call out from his past[00:02:20]

Time ain't for savin' no Time's not for that[00:02:28]

Chasin' false echoes like a lost legionnaire[00:02:36]

He waltzes on memories while he fades like a flare[00:02:49]

Now his storybook childhood was not make-believe[00:03:00]

On the decks of a tallship he was taught to achieve[00:03:15]

Witnessed storms and starvation natural wonders and force[00:03:30]

Oh the life of a sailor steers a wanderin' course[00:03:45]

Enduring echoes call out from his past[00:04:03]

Time ain't for savin' no Time's not for that[00:04:10]

Chasin' false echoes like a lost legionnaire[00:04:18]

He waltzes on memories while he fades like a flare[00:04:31]

Well now life throws us curve balls we never can reach[00:04:42]

He gave up the ocean but he lived by the beach[00:04:57]

Where he raised up his family taught us all to survive[00:05:12]

Then the wind went away in 1995[00:05:27]

Now the old Chicamauga has slipped by the way[00:06:23]

She lies on the bottom of old Mobile Bay[00:06:39]

Where the ghosts of his father and his brother are near[00:06:53]

They protect him and tell him there's nothing to fear[00:07:08]

'Cause it's family tradition we take to the sea[00:07:23]

And it's a time in the future for Cameron and me[00:07:38]

Enduring echoes call out from his past[00:07:55]

Time ain't for savin' no Time's not for that[00:08:03]

Chasin' false echoes like a lost legionnaire[00:08:10]

He waltzes on memories while he fades like a flare[00:08:23]

The skies over Cuba were warmed by the sun[00:08:34]

Twenty-fifth of November 1921[00:08:48]
