Magdelina

Awaiting my treasure drifting ashore

When from the galleys we're set free

And I'll never give you more

Than the time that we save

Magdelina I forgave

And I will feel everything

There are bridges burning here and we have

To keep below

Lest the guns should overtake us and let out

The final blow

A deserter I'll be hung, though ever battle I had won

And I won't feel anything

Hey Magdelina, there is only now to lay aside

All the bad dreams of your past have been

Lost in the fire

Remember, soon I'll be back to bathe in your smile

And touch a long time indeed
