| 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 |
