Your Ship Has Sailed - The Raptor Trail

Now one fell asleep in the street And he never woke up Now one died in pieces In his bed with the mouth full of bones And one threatened me long ago when I saw him Melt in the bright light of day And one laid to rest in a field under starlings and crows, hey! I've been wandering sideways I've stared straight into the sun Still, I don't know why you're dying Long before your time has come Your time has come Now one took some bullets in the chest in a deal gone wrong One got a little too depressed and he went and jumped the gun One got shot right in the face and he somehow survived But he doesn't know my name or who I am And I'm not surprised, hey! I've been wandering sideways I've stared straight into the sun Still, I don't know why you're dying Long before your time has come Yeah I've been wandering sideways And I've stared straight into the sun Still I don't know why you're dying Long before your time has come Your time has come, yeah! I've seen fifty thousand names all engraved on a stone Most of them, met an early grave years before I was born All of them left brothers and sisters and mothers behind And most of their family and friends alive, doing time I've been wandering sideways I've stared straight into the sun I don't know why you're dying Long before your time has come Yeah, I've been wandering sideways I've stared straight into the sun And I don't know why you're dying Long before your time has come Long before your time has come Long before your time has come Your time has come
