about

The road is long…many fall by the wayside

lyrics

it was so many years ago
We left behind pain and sorrow
And said on a free wind
That took us from Bali to Berlin.

Nepal was too raw in snow
We needed warmer places to go
slow kisses on the eye-lids of sin
On sunburnt beaches with the tide rolling in

chorus
Drunken Boat sails us us straight to the devil
Drunken boat sails us straight to hell

You went through your chemical daze
Then went through an Indian faze,
You took an inward journey
To find your Divine Light
I left you at that crossroad in the middle of the night

I tried to forget that I love you the most
Like light I sped everywhere, I was the holy ghost
You materialised in Paris, burnt out and used,
Life had sucked the life from your eyes
You were confused.

So our Odyssey was over,
we took the long road home
But everything was changed, we were alone.
Our friends were all now comfortable, they had refined taste
With all so fragile values that were easily replaced.

With indifference we shuffled through our life
Me your broken husband, you my silent wife.
Winter had rolled in it chilled us to the bone
You left me, it was expected,
Now you live alone.
