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 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 she'd


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
