|
I hear they hung the jailer |
|
The messenger is dead |
|
The piano player's singing |
|
To the lovers in his bed |
|
This road is winding back |
|
And there's no end in sight |
|
No sign of our dead |
|
Lord To guide us through this starless night |
|
And through every open doorway |
|
You can choose |
|
And sometimes you win it |
|
And sometimes you lose |
|
This one's for |
|
Rosaleen With a bullet through a breast |
|
This one's for you, my uninvited guest |
|
Oh now my beauty lies |
|
So deep in her sleep |
|
Will some angel keep her spirit sweet |
|
And the simple things to say |
|
Don't always work out that way |
|
The touching of our souls |
|
They don't drift away |
|
I am going, |
|
I am going to |
|
Kingston town |
|
Fine Spanish lace and a wedding gown |
|
I am going, |
|
I am going to |
|
Kingston town |
|
Jamaican rum and a princess crown |
