|
I can't go home I cannot sleep |
|
I cannot give I cannot keep |
|
This heart of stone has left me here |
|
With only rumours of you left |
|
I guess to see you leaving was for the best |
|
I drink too much and spend my days |
|
Like a sailor lost at sea |
|
And you were like the mermaid in that Danish fairy tale |
|
I guess the best thing I could do is to sail |
|
Away from this sunken soldiers ball |
|
Away do you remember me at all? |
|
I have no better words than thank you and goodbye |
|
I wish I didn't have to see our love die |
|
At last I'm home my horse will rest |
|
This tattoed heart this trembling chest |
|
Must be alone and carry this sorrow back to bed |
|
I hope there was no innocent blood shed |
|
Away from this sunken soldiers ball |
|
Away do you remember me at all? |
|
I have no better words than thank you and goodbye |
|
I wish I didn't have to see our love die |
