[00:13.25]I waved to you as my boat was leaving
[00:20.28]Hats flew up and everybody cheered
[00:26.92]But you turned as I guess someone spoke to you
[00:33.34]And in a sea of arms you disappeared
[00:40.35]I lived the life of a ragged soldier
[00:47.00]The secretary to a rebel king
[00:53.92]He kept us drunk and hungry in a jungle
[01:00.68]Tangled in the lilies of the scheme
[01:07.54]We gambled and we fought with one another
[01:14.22]We had no code to give us unity
[01:20.69]Most died among us without God or honor
[01:27.37]As blood became our faith and currency
[01:34.70]But all the while I kept your name beside me
[01:41.38]I wrote it but refused it on my tongue
[01:48.15]Believing you a song still there inside me
[01:54.63]I feared your loss if ever it were sung
[02:01.42]I found myself at last upon a shoreline
[02:08.11]I booked my passage home and stood in tears
[02:14.94]With a bag of apples and a forged passport
[02:21.60]The first I'd seen my face in seven years
[02:32.00]Now I wonder at the day when I might find you
[02:39.17]Appear among the living at your door
[02:46.02]Will you have a husband and some children
[02:52.79]Will we share a secret anymore
[02:59.61]Life is brutal to the weak and sober
[03:06.52]Its powers of persuation dark and grave
[03:13.05]It pushes its way up to the railing
[03:19.42]Then turns its face when you start to wave
[03:26.43]Life is brutal to the weak and sober
[03:33.43]Its powers of persuation dark and grave
[03:40.29]It pushes its way up to the railing
[03:46.54]Then turns its face when you start to wave
