lyrics

When I’m washed-up on a deserted mind
Free at least from my mother’s tide
My mother’s side
In a sea that thinks like bourbon on the rocks
That news still comes as such a shock
Didn’t see you there
When were you ever there?
No guts to see it through
And you knew, you knew

Take me away, Lusitania
Take me away, Lusitania
Water’s so cold
From the tales the seafarers told
They made me stay

Though I’m hopefully grief-stricken
Shipwrecked and frost-bitten, almost smitten
Any drift towards an Atlantic coast
Is away from the one I love the most
When will she sail away?
Did they ever sail my way?
Maybe it’s hard to fathom
That I never let them

The boiling bourbon sea
Should’ve made her fall for me
But tell the Lusitania
That I never let her

Take me away, Lusitania
Take me away, Lusitania
The water’s so cold
From the tales the seafarers told
They made me stay

If I could stand for
What I stood for
Then I’d swim for
The shore
