Herriot Row - The Beggar

Standing out on the edge
All liquored up and sick of it all
Feeling like a lesser star
You let your bitter verses fall

Down into the water
The sword into the stone
It was all the same to you now
A pearl or an eye, coral or bone

The ocean conquers everything
A holy truth, but not wholly true
And, all your bitter verses, like a silver vessel
They outlasted you
They outlasted you

So tonight I follow your ghost
I hear the wind I smell the brine
I carry my burden like a candle
All these bitter verses of mine

Down into the water
The sword into the stone
It was all the same to you now
A pearl or an eye, coral or bone

And if it's all the same to you
Then it's all the same to me
If it's all the same to you
Then it's all the same to me
