lyrics

You always wear neutral colors
You are a forest of gray and brown
and your bed is always empty

Elizabeth was right,
you keep your guard up higher than a castle wall
and your hands are always buried in your pockets

I know what happened
on the grounds of the school where you met,
when you were carrying three months of salary spent

And I know how she found out-
and how her father would never allow such a poor family name claim his own

So I know she never showed,
and how you stayed for hours
(like a mariner trapped at sea)

When dawn crawled into the sky
you dragged your body home
collapsing, at last, alone in your bed

You woke after little sleep,
shook the weight off your shoulders
and drove yourself down to the harbor

And you walked onto the pier
where the wind howled and shared your grief
like it was part of your body

You slowly removed the diamond ring from inside your pocket
and you buried it at sea
