| [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 |
