Tell the World

Tell Saint Elliott, I left to find the truth

thought I saw it sittin' by the riverbed

tell him please, not to waste all his youth

on wandering trails that he's already tread

 

Tell Sweet Eva-May, I'm gone forevermore

my ticket has expired, and my tale's are told

tell her please, when there's snow on the shore

that no one by her side would even notice the cold

 

If fate decides that we'll never meet again

even though I'll always try to fight it

look to the sky and the breeze will tell you when

the embers of hope are no longer ignited

 

The road is heavy and the past is wearing thin

the fortunes that were once are now just fantasies

the water, it rose, till it flowed by my chin

and the land that I called home is drowning, can't you see?
