Down by the water
From a thousand yesterdays
I read it in this ancient book
When the old man passed away
I drifted through the pages
And it's magic filled my eyes
I dreamed she once loved me
In the land called Trinidad
By the wind
Sailed the water
She calls my name
To come on back to hold me
Trinidad
Trinidad
The silence on the ocean
Stopped the silence in my heart
She still sings to me softly
Through the night
And in the dark
By the wind
Sailed the water
She calls my name
To come on back to hold me
Trinidad<
Brave Old World
I wipe the ashes from the soles of my shoes
I step off the sidewalk, thinking of you
I light the candles in my makeshift shrine
The wind brushes in and dries the tears from my eyes
Everything left when I lost you
Everything keeps keeping on
It’s a brave old world
Even though you’re gone
Even though you’re gone
How I wonder
Do you wonder where you are?
To keep your thoughts
I think your thoughts
You’re not here
Everything left when I lost you
Everything keeps keeping on
It’s a brave old world
Even though you’re gone
Even though you’re gone
I wonder
Do you wonder?
I breathe my warm breath on the windowpane
I scratch at the glass and leave the script of your name
I sleep with shadows and I search for your scent
They lay where you lay but can’t replace what you meant
Everything left when I lost you
Everything keeps keeping on
It’s a brave old world
Even though you’re gone
Even though you’re gone
Even though you’re gone
