I left my country when I was nineteen |
|
1925 |
|
And drifted to a town on the Cuban coast |
|
Met a woman who became my life |
|
And oh when I saw her |
|
The darkness fled from me |
|
And flew like a blackbird into the sun |
|
On the day she married me |
|
Dear God... |
|
But now the drumbirds come for me |
|
Oh now the drumbirds come for me |
|
Lord give me forgiveness |
|
For all that I have done |
|
Forgive me now of the weight I bear |
|
Don't keep me on the run |
|
Dear God |
|
Dear God |
|
I remember climbing up those shoulders |
|
And coming up under you like a lion |
|
And coming down like we were dying |
|
Dear God |
|
I left my country when I was nineteen |

Dear God |

I remember climbing up those shoulders... |
