Lyrics:
I knew a girl where the water flowed,
With hair like kelp and eyes of sea.
I walk a much unkinder road,
Where the sun beats down relentlessly.
No prophecies are sung for me,
No great destiny.
Just the cold, hard steel in my hand,
In a stranger's land.
I close my eyes against the dust and heat,
And dream about her ocean deep.
But with every bloody, slow retreat,
I march across the dunes so steep.
So let the water keep her blind,
To what the sands have made of me.
And bury what is in my mind
A thousand leagues from any sea.
Where the water flowed...
Water flowed...
On this unkinder road.
Keep her blind...
Leave the ghost behind.
Not for me.
