lyrics

Where has all the water gone he wonders time to time
When will I get the taste of dust out of this mouth of mine
I wonder when the water comes will we withstand the tide
Or will this band of bandits play its final tune and die?

And it was true, true beauty
When they played that melody as the were drowned at sea
And love is true, but love's free
She can't wait out at sea for a man who may not be

Seven years and evermore she waits there at the shore
Seven years she's left to sing Somewhere Beyond The Sea
When the meds won't keep eight little legs from crawling up her spine
She's got to face the fact that maybe all her friends were right

And love is true, but love's free
She can't wait out at sea for a man who may not be
There is no you and me
At least not here and now, or in this life anyhow

Where has all the water gone he wonders time to time
When will I get the taste of dust out of this mouth of mine
I wonder when the water comes will we withstand the tide
Or will this band of bandits play its final tune and die?

When will we die?

She wont let me die.
