| Summer sailed in
|
| Filled my mind you see
|
| Colored my skin
|
| I must say
|
| Saw my wings with the bodies in the gutter
|
| Feel my kiss, now say not a word
|
| Knowing my hands they’ll shake like crazy
|
| Some just pray like that
|
| Coming way down
|
| Called my name
|
| Tell him we’re here
|
| Pick him up softly
|
| I was wide awake with the bodies in the gutter
|
| Waiting on a man who gave his word
|
| I was told before to be not afraid
|
| Soon my fears will emerge
|
| So I went on my feet
|
| And they came up real quick
|
| And they left me for dead
|
| And I never did forget
|
| And I need my soul, and the sail needs the wind
|
| Cause I get so lost time and again
|
| And away I looked, oh mercy me
|
| Well it just ain’t right you see, oh me
|
| And the lovers did feast and the birds flew away
|
| And I was so mad at the coming of the day
|
| And I will leave the monsters all at bay
|
| We can believe it’s better this way
|
| I was her lover
|
| You were a child
|
| She was your mother
|
| We didn’t cry
|
| They buried their dead with the flowers in the field
|
| With wounds so deep they never healed
|
| They gathered their children all on the shore
|
| Gonna wait for you to search us and destroy |
