Chorus

Oh in the grey

 Grey ghost that I call home

 In the grey

 Stony lonesome I call home

 In the grey

 Grey ghost that I call home

 In the grey, grey ghost that I call home

 Oh he will not

Walk out the river now

He will not walk out the river

He will not walk out the river, singing

Don’t fall through the stars

Don’t fall through them

Don’t fall through the stars

Don’t fall through them

On the docks in Memphis, with the boombox, nodding out, singing

Don’t fall through the stars

Don’t fall through them

Don’t fall through the stars

Don’t fall through them

Don’t fall through the stars

Repeat Chorus

 In the trail of the barge and the light upon the brine

He has staked these thoughts and the force is undivided, singing

Don’t fall through the stars

Don’t fall through them

Don’t fall through the stars

Don’t fall through them

Sleepy-eyed, the man is wading out into the night, singing

Don’t fall through the stars

Don’t fall through them

Don’t fall through the stars

Don’t fall through them

Don’t fall through the stars

Bridge

Embracing some hard-luck citizen

Disgraced like some strange Bob Balaban

And placing your heels down in the sand

Chorus x2 w/ backup vox

Last line

 in the grey grey ghost that I call home
