1
The skies over Cuba turned pink with the light
2
And the waterfront ritual began to ignite
3
All the ships in the harbor were warmed by the sun
4
Twenty-fifth of November, 1921
5
On the old Chicamauga the Signal Jacks flew
6
And the message they spelled out caused a great bally hoo
7
Every ship in Havana then hoisted away
8
All the pennants were 'a flyin' on my dad's first birthday
9
Enduring echoes call out from his past
10
Time ain't for savin' no time's not for that
11
Chasing false echoes like a lost legionnaire
12
He waltzes on memories while he fades like a flare
13
Now his storybook childhood was not make believe
14
On the decks of a tall ship he was taught to achieve
15
Witnessed storms and starvation natural wonders and force
16
Oh the life of a sailor steers a wanderin' course
17
Enduring echoes call out from his past
18
Time ain't for savin' no time's not for that
19
Chasing false echoes like a lost legionnaire
20
He waltzes on memories while he fades like a flare
21
Well now life throws us curve balls we never can reach
22
He gave up the ocean but he lived by the beach
23
Where he raised up his family taught us all to survive
24
Then the wind went away in 1995
25
Now the old Chicamauga has slipped by the ways
26
She lies on the bottom of old Mobile Bay
27
Where the ghosts of his father and his brother are near
28
They protect him and tell him there's nothin' to fear
29
Cause it's family tradition we take to the sea
30
And it's a time in the future for Cameron and me
31
Enduring echoes call out from his past
32
Time ain't for saving no time's not for that
33
Chasing false echoes like a lost legionnaire
34
He waltzes on memories while he fades like a flare
35
The skies over Cuba were warmed by the sun
36
Twenty-fifth of November 1921
