[00:03.079]You always wear neutral colors
[00:08.773]You are a forest of gray and brown
[00:14.886]And your bed is always empty
[00:24.029]Elizabeth was right
[00:29.123]You keep your guard up higher than a castle wall
[00:38.867]And your hands are always buried in your pockets
[00:51.144]I know what happened on the grounds of the school where you met
[01:02.795]When you were carrying three months of salary spent
[01:14.942]And I know how she found out
[01:21.342]And how her father would never allow
[01:26.409]Such a poor family name to lay claim his only daughter
[01:38.609]So I know she never showed
[01:44.878]And how you stayed for hours
[01:50.625]Like a mariner trapped at sea
[02:00.055]When dawn reclaimed the sky
[02:06.037]You dragged your body home
[02:11.967]Collapsing, at last, alone in your bed
[02:27.222]You woke after little sleep
[02:32.499]Shook the weight off your shoulders
[02:39.474]And drove yourself down to the harbor
[02:51.098]You walked onto the pier
[02:56.662]Where the wind howled and shared your grief
[03:04.264]Like it was part of your body
[03:12.075]And you slowly removed the diamond ring from inside your pocket
[03:26.991]And you buried it at sea
