Sunken Soldiers Ball

I can't go home I cannot sleep

I cannot give I cannot keep

This heart of stone has left me here

With only rumours of you left

I guess to see you leaving was for the best

I drink too much and spend my days

Like a sailor lost at sea

And you were like the mermaid in that Danish fairy tale

I guess the best thing 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
