Muskets aimed right at my head

It's just our job to do they said

Have you anything to say

A preacher whispered and swayed

Why a man in a checked shirt shot him down on the ground

Tell the dream I have all alone

And I know when I go I'll go alone

You make me fell like I am

What I am

I seem much older than then

But I'm young, why feel down

My eyes are closed

I cannot speak

Though I hear you talk to me

Where's a man I saw dead cold

I'll count ten and make sure

Here I am with my hands bound in a plane going down fast

Tell the dream I have all alone

And I know when I go I'll go alone

Where can I find you to tell you the truth

I'll raise a flag of white satin brocade

Why feel down

Muskets aimed right at my head

I closed my eyes there in my bed

People talk and I don't hear a word

All that they say I can say with a nod

Why feel down

The captain cried out to his mate

That man has had his time don't wait

Have you anything to say

A preacher whispered and swayed

Why a man in a checked shirt shot him down on the ground

Tell the dream I have all alone

And I know when I go I'll go alone
