Hidalgo's Lament

He lost his arm in a Mexican jail
She didn’t know where he was
Counting the days in peculiar ways
Listening to the rain
He didn’t know there were rules to this land
She didn’t know where he was
When you don’t have anything at all
You’ll be the one who takes the fall, yes you will
You used to be so big, but now you’re so small
Make your escape before it is too late
This is the day you’ll be free
Life is a beach, so we all must go swim
Swim with the tide, swim away
When you don’t have anything at all
You’ll be the one who takes the fall, yes you will
You used to be so big, but now you’re so small
Oh, when you don’t have anything at all
You’ll be the one who takes the fall, yes you will
You used to be so big, but now you’re so small
