Silver Line

I used to travel a lot, now I'm not
and all the things that I did, now I don't
I used to think that I'll never get old
but the older I got, I forgot
My father used to be there, now he's gone
my mother used to rely on her own
and I was used and abused like a pawn
I was played all along, now I don't
Anymore, I don't mind
cause my cloud has a hidden silver line
I'm alright, I'll be fine
cause I've got my silver ine
I used to pray every night, now I don't
cause I don't care about my soul anymore
I'm just a sailor with a bottle of rum
in the eye of the storm
Some people use to live high but I don't
some people use to live low but I won't
and when the man that I love goes away
in the land of the gone, no I don't
Anymore, I don't mind
cause my cloud has a hidden silver line
I'm alright, I'll be fine
cause I've got my silver line

Shallow Grave

Land of hope, land of hope,
made of blood, made of gold
Carry on my friend, carry on,
a thousand miles away from home
A thousand miles away from home, on your own...
I'm breathing slow my friend, I'm breathing slow
Like the stone, beneath the snow
When the light betrays the day
only blind men find their way
Only blind men find their way, or so they say...
Shallow grave, shallow grave
Cowards go, heroes stay
There's no place for me to hide
with my devils by my side
With my devils by my side, all the way...

Something's Wrong

Will you miss me if I go away without you
or will you lock the door to keep me safe at home
I might be smiling but I feel so lost around you
so will you miss me if I take my things and go?
Cause I'm alone, something's changed,
something's broken, something's wrong
and when I'm gone, will you change,
will you break or will you come?
Did you see me when I walked all day beside you
Or did you think that I was meant to walk this way
If I stumble on your feet and fall behind you
Will you leave me on the ground and walk away?
I'm alone, something's changed,
something's broken, something's wrong
and when I'm gone, will you change,
will you break or will you come?
Will you miss me if I go away without you
or will you beg of me to stay another day
For I am blind and I'm not clearly meant to guide you
but as they say when there's a will there is a way
And I'm alone, something's changed,
something's broken, something's wrong
and when I'm gone, will you change,
will you break or will you come?

When Everybody's Gone

There's a ghost haunting this ocean
like a fish with a dragons tale
This ain't just a bedtime story,
this ain't just a fairytale
Though no one has ever seen her,
every sailor knows her face
They say "Death will never get us,
we're protected by her grace"
I can hear them when they're lonely,
while they're laughing, as they drink
They gather round the fire
and all the pirates sing:
Hey mama, hey! No one dies alone
The salty lady stays when everybody's gone
They say once she was a lady,
she was once a sailors wife
but the sailor lost his way home
and the lady took her life.
In the northern stormy weather,
in each shot accross the bows
she awaits beneath the water
to collect her rotten souls
and they gather round the fire
and all the pirates sing:
"We're born to keep on sailing
between the devil and the deep blue sea"
Hey mama, hey! No one dies alone
The salty lady stays when everybody's gone
