lyrics

Pale eyes gazed at the setting sun.
Bright flames danced on weathered skin.
Southbound, the feeble heart yearned.
In exile, only the birds harked his cries.

Sorrow walked in his steps,
longing warmed his bed at night.
In dreams only, the torments ceased.
Where he drowned in pools of memory.

Decrepitude greeted at his gate.
Winter came as birds headed South,
cloaked him in a Northern solitude.

Came the morning misery waited.
Cursed to feed on life's bitter milk.
To wither on a day when no one knows.

In a foreign land, in a foreign tongue,
never again shall he taste
the Southern motherly warmth.
Forever, in foreign soil shall his bones lay.

Alas, sorrow turned to ash,
and longing into stone.
On a lonely plaque,
engraved his eternal will:
"He who ventures Southward...
pray, take my bones with thee".
