Owen's Lament - Augie March
Level your fretting
I won't be forgetting the flush of your face
When I lifted you level to me
And a wattle tree framed your body
In whispers welling with the d**e of a new Spring
You said"Kill me a dynasty
Or our love won't mean a thing"
A bullet for a diamond ring
A favour promised
A promise delivered and more to you
It's only a war I'll be back to your shore
Before you know it I'm gone
Then I'll cover you body
And if you have to go please go lightly
Keep it to a foxtrot whether he's a fox or not
Keep it cold keep all your heat for me
I'll be needing it for when I'm cold you see
Let your children remind you of me
Whether by another or by the ghost in me in you
There goes my baby
I would think of you
And a palmtree would cover your body
You in love and love and war we are bound by a law
It goes to you and then to yours to recover my body
Recover my body
Recover my body
Recover my body
There goes my baby
I would think of you
And a palmtree would cover your body
It's only a war I'll be back to your shore
Before you know it I'm gone
Then I'll cover you body
You in love and war we are bound by a law
It goes to you and then to yours to recover my body
Recover my body
