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
|
Darkness fled from me
|
And flew like a blackbird into the sun
|
On the day she married me
|
Dear god
|
Dear god
|
I remember climbing up those shoulders
|
Coming up under you like a lion
|
Coming down like we were dying
|
Dear god
|
But now the drumbirds come for me
|
Oh now the drumbirds come for me
|
Lord give me forgiveness
|
For all that i've 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
|
Coming up under you like a lion
|
Coming down like we were dying
|
Dear god
|
