Lyrics Problem Addict - Once and Future Band

Problem Addict

They paid me in gold to find where the night meets day
The Queen blew a kiss as I sailed out across the bay
I soon met misfortune among the salt and spray
I’m just a sailor who long ago
Lost his way
They sent me to war where I ditched my gun and hid
In a ditch with the dead ‘til the reaper descended
She swooped in like a swallow and swallowed me whole
I’m just a soldier who long ago
Lost his soul
Wandering the halls of my own penitentiary
Hauled every stone and placed each one so carefully
Rounded up my enemies and locked them all away with me
I’m just a jailer who long ago
Lost the key
