After We Shot the Grizzly |
| After we shot the grizzly |
| After the airship crashed |
| After we lost the compass |
| After the radio went dead |
| We shot and ate the horses |
| We marched through deadly swamps |
| Inside a limestone cave |
| I found a human skull |
| Yes, Mary |
| I found a human skull |
| The captain caught a fever |
| We tied him to a tree |
| We stared into the fire |
| And tried not to hear his screams |
| I killed a tiny antelope |
| Not scared by my approach |
| We turned it over dying flames |
| As we huddled in the glow |
| Yes, Mary |
| We huddled in the glow |
| We built a raft from skin and bones |
| Only five could safely float |
| The others stood upon the shore |
| They screamed and threw sharp stones |
| Yes, Mary |
| They threw the sharpest stones |
| But how the sea did spin us |
| How the waves did roar |
| The captain jumped into the storm |
| Then we were but four |
| One by one, we chose our straws |
| 'Til only I remained |
| But Mary, you are with me now |
| All around me in the waves |
| Yes, Mary |
| You are in the waves |
