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
