Sunken Soldiers Ball Tab

by Agua De Annique


I can't go home

I cannot sleep

I cannot give

I cannot keep


This heart of stone has left me here
          
With only rumors of your left
                                        
I guess to see you leaving was for the best


I dream too much

and spend my days
                    
Like a sailor lost at sea
            
And you were like a mermaid
        
in that Danish fairytale
                                              
I guess the best thing that I could do is to sail

             
Away from this sunken soldiers ball
             
Away, do you remember me at all?
                          
I have no better words than "Thank you and goodbye"
                                   
I wish I didn't have to see our love die

At last I'm home
My horse will rest
This tattoed heart
This trembling chest must be alone
And carry this sorrow back to bed
I hope there was no innocent blood shed

Away from this sunken soldiers ball
Away, do you remember me at all?
I have no better words than "Thank you and goodbye"
I wish I didn't have to see our love die
