I waved to you as my boat was leaving [00:00:13]
Hats flew up and everybody cheered [00:00:20]
But you turned as I guess someone spoke to you [00:00:26]
And in a sea of arms you disappeared [00:00:33]
I lived the life of a ragged soldier [00:00:40]
The secretary to a rebel king [00:00:47]
He kept us drunk and hungry in a jungle [00:00:53]
Tangled in the lilies of the scheme [00:01:00]
We gambled and we fought with one another [00:01:07]
We had no code to give us unity [00:01:14]
Most died among us without God or honor [00:01:20]
As blood became our faith and currency [00:01:27]
But all the while I kept your name beside me [00:01:34]
I wrote it but refused it on my tongue [00:01:41]
Believing you a song still there inside me [00:01:48]
I feared your loss if ever it were sung [00:01:54]
I found myself at last upon a shoreline [00:02:01]
I booked my passage home and stood in tears [00:02:08]
With a bag of apples and a forged passport [00:02:14]
The first I'd seen my face in seven years [00:02:21]
Now I wonder at the day when I might find you [00:02:32]
Appear among the living at your door [00:02:39]
Will you have a husband and some children [00:02:46]
Will we share a secret anymore [00:02:52]
Life is brutal to the weak and sober [00:02:59]
Its powers of persuation dark and grave [00:03:06]
It pushes its way up to the railing [00:03:13]
Then turns its face when you start to wave [00:03:19]
Life is brutal to the weak and sober [00:03:26]
Its powers of persuation dark and grave [00:03:33]
It pushes its way up to the railing [00:03:40]
Then turns its face when you start to wave [00:03:46]
