The stain of the sepia the butcher Crimea
Through the wreck of brass band I thought I could see her
In a cakewalk she came through the dead and the lame
Just a little bird floating on a hurricane
I was flat on my back with my feet in the thorns
I was in between the apples and the chloroform
She came to me often I was sure I was dying
It was always hard to tell is she was laughing or crying
D Bm

Oh bring me the love that can sweeten the sword
A boat that can love the rocks or the shore

Oh pity the bullet and pity the man

Who both are like the barrell going over the falls
