I was
The King when I
Walked in to the
Tide and
Sang my last
Song for
Poseidon
He called out my
Name and
Then he dragged me
Down and
Told me to
Sit there
Beside him
In a thousand years I’ll be no
More
Like the dust of shells on the sea
Floor
Tell me that you saw some life in
Me
‘Fore I’m at the bottom of the
Sea
Antiqui-
Ties never
Held any
Flame un-
Til I
Arrived in
His Garden
Then I broke
Down and I
Begged for his
Bowl that
I might yet
Deserve his
Pardon
In a thousand years I’ll be no
More
Like the dust of shells on the sea
Floor
Tell me that you saw some life in
Me
‘Fore I’m at the bottom of the
Sea
I’m not a stranger
I’m not a stranger to you
I’m not a stranger, am I?
I’m not a stranger to you
