The Riviera of Hades |
When they came from the road |
I had no strength to carry on |
And the one’s that had come with me |
Were vansihed and gone |
Run away, run away, high on desert plains |
Four and twenty days out on the trail |
I slipped out of the headlights and I kept out of sight |
I slept in the dunes and I walked through the night |
I was picked up by a 4×4 and then a flatbed truck |
It was a very welcome stroke of luck |
I went to sleep inside a warehouse |
There were many more like me |
Laying low and working any odd job |
Saving money for the trip across the sea |
There’s a place where the dunes block |
The view from the road |
And where no prying eye see the ferryman load |
His ancient motor boad, his brimming cargo hold |
We packed together there young and old |
There were no lights from the coastline |
When the old boat sprang a leak |
People clinging to the parapets |
As I jumped into the blackness of the sea |
When they pulled us from the ocean |
There was not a sound but for a woman crying |
We were sat out on the freezing deck |
Where some of were rolling up and dying |
Rome, home to the undying |
Where the warm wind weeps |
See the young man in the station |
As he rocks himself to sleep |
