Leaving of Liverpool - Eastern Passage

Farewell to you, my own true love There were many fare thee wells I am bound for California A place I know right well So fare thee well, my own true love When I return united we will be It's not the leaving of Liverpool that's grieves me But my darling when I think of thee I have signed on a Yankee Clipper ship Davy Crockett is her name And the Captain's name is Burgess And they say that she's a floating Hell I have sailed with Burgess once before And I think I know him well If a man's a sailor, he can get along If not, then he's sure in Hell Oh the ship is in the harbour, love And I wish I could remain For I know it will be a long, long time Before I see you again

You never know just what you've got Till it's slipping through your fingers Never know just what you've got Till it's gone with the wind And you never miss your shadow Till there's no one left beside you You never miss your shadow Till you're alone, alone in the dark You never know just what will break you Till you're picking up the pieces Never know just what will break you Till your world, it falls apart Never know how small your voice is Till you're screaming at the silence Never know how small your voice is Till you're arguing, arguing with God But I saw Death's face today As he led my friend away I saw Death's face today As he cast his shadow over me I saw Death's face today As he led my friend away So I'll ask who I gotta pay To bring him back, bring him back to me Bring him back to me You never know the words you should've said until they're all you're left with Until the dirt is falling and the guilt, it burns your bones And we ask the biggest question: why the fuck did this all happen? Who on Earth deserves this? And what the hell do we do now? So we live like we have lost, and we love like we are broken And as the colour leaves the sky, we're left in reverence of the frailty of it all
