Sunken Soldier's Ball Lyrics - Air/pure Air - Anneke Van Giersbergen

I can't go home I cannot sleep 

I cannot give I cannot keep 

This heart of stone has left me here 

With only rumours of you left 

I guess to see you leaving was for the best 

I drink too much and spend my days 

Like a sailor lost at sea 

And you were like the mermaid in that Danish fairy tale 

I guess the best thing I could do is to sail

Away from this sunken soldiers ball 

Away do you remember me at all? 

I have no better words than thank you and goodbye 

I wish I didn't have to see our love die 

At last I'm home my horse will rest 

This tattoed heart this trembling chest 

Must be alone and carry this sorrow back to bed 

I hope there was no innocent blood shed

I have no better words than thank you and goodbye 

I wish I didn't have to see our love die
