about
An abandoned love grieves erratically.
lyrics
Now if you leave to seek your fortune, you will be far away from me,
but I at least should get a portion. Picture me rollin’ on the open seas.
So if you come back bearing diamonds, or foreign bills, or foreign guns,
who else, my love, will help you hide them?
And can you trust them to be silent?
Who else will offer you asylum when you come?
And I will wait for you, Aisha, on these lonely afternoons
when the wind is blowing free, so come back soon.
It’s those fast cars, fine clothes, that life fit for a king.
As I throw out my money like paper, boys, it don’t mean nothing to me.
I thought your dreams had already come true.
I got screens rollin’ down but I don’t have a picture of you.
Now if you leave to seek your fortune, I’ll suffer many restless days.
But if you’re certain than you’re certain, though you might be a different person, you might change.
So come back weak and heavy laden. Or come back bronze and overjoyed,
and let me know I was mistaken as I lay down among the ravens,
and let me know that what was taken was not destroyed.
And I will wait for you, Aisha, on these lonely afternoons
when the wind is blowing free, so come back soon.
It’s those fast cars, fine clothes, that life fit for a king.
As I throw out my money like paper, boys, it don’t mean nothing to me.
I thought your dreams had already come true.
I got screens rollin’ down but I don’t have a picture of you.
but I at least should get a portion. Picture me rollin’ on the open seas.
So if you come back bearing diamonds, or foreign bills, or foreign guns,
who else, my love, will help you hide them?
And can you trust them to be silent?
Who else will offer you asylum when you come?
And I will wait for you, Aisha, on these lonely afternoons
when the wind is blowing free, so come back soon.
It’s those fast cars, fine clothes, that life fit for a king.
As I throw out my money like paper, boys, it don’t mean nothing to me.
I thought your dreams had already come true.
I got screens rollin’ down but I don’t have a picture of you.
Now if you leave to seek your fortune, I’ll suffer many restless days.
But if you’re certain than you’re certain, though you might be a different person, you might change.
So come back weak and heavy laden. Or come back bronze and overjoyed,
and let me know I was mistaken as I lay down among the ravens,
and let me know that what was taken was not destroyed.
And I will wait for you, Aisha, on these lonely afternoons
when the wind is blowing free, so come back soon.
It’s those fast cars, fine clothes, that life fit for a king.
As I throw out my money like paper, boys, it don’t mean nothing to me.
I thought your dreams had already come true.
I got screens rollin’ down but I don’t have a picture of you.
