They tried to cross the cold
He crashed against the rock so hard
He wondered why he hadn't died
He took a splinter from the shoreline
He took what he could carry,
On the way back to the city,
On the one hand I get muted,
on the other one for wealth
Oh, I long to know the former,
I could only win the last
When I saw my home in ruins
And I knew my time had passed
And so I know that you've
And so you'll have to pay the fee
On the road to insolvency
it was a week before the fall
Over supper with her townmen sisters
in the back of a marble hall
The indignity of her passionless kiss
Her last name on the enemies list
She was lucky to make it at all
So she trampled on his hon or
And you're in love with the hattest hat
She said I'm sorry for the insult
We were too contented adults
You said, lady, you must judge me
Because things don't come for free
They always said it would get ugly
And the way to insolvency
Check it, that's the gate you
greatest devil make you a wife
Go on, declare your independence
You keep on stabbing innocence
For all your prayers are paid as
It was right by our employers
We were measured and deceived
Could pull our treasure from the sea
I spent a lifetime seeking danger
And a fortune spilling blood
And now all this pride and anger
Has done me very little good
And so I know that you had your calling
And so you'll have to let me be
I swear I'll see you one day, darling
And I'll lose you in silence
