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 |
|
GodI remember climbing up those shoulders |
|
Coming up under you like a lion |
|
Coming down like we were dying dear |
|
GodBut now the drum birds come for me |
|
Oh now the drum birds come for me |
|
Lord give me forgiveness for all that |
|
I've doneForgive me now of the weight |
|
I bearDon'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 |
