In Exile

Do you ever think of me don't know why I care

Wishing for something that's no longer there

Sadly my memory gives me no choice

You could have been Hazey Jane or a girl named Joyce,

Where do I go and where can I stay

To escape from the past at Melancholy Bay

It seems so dark here far from the sun's rays

Sitting here alone wondering how long I must pay,

The ghost ships have sunk along the bottom

 Another evening fit for a few glasses of rum

Only way to get through this is if I stay numb

Melancholy Bay is where that sound comes from,

Waves cover the sand bars stretching beyond the shore

Little do sailors know they're knocking on death's door

I never used to feel this way what can I say?

I'm locked in eternity here on Melancholy Bay,

I used to have my plans now I'm living day to day

There are several unknown things here at play

Sometimes I just have to stop and pray

Living here in isolation at Melancholy Bay,

I used to be such a lover usually care free

Now I'm reduced to suffering on bended knee

From the cold waters I hear her calling me

Perhaps I belong below the waters of the sea,

It seems tragically silly wouldn't you agree?

There's no time for tea and sympathy

Can't even find the shade of a Joshua tree

Oh my God what's happening to me?

The wind seems awful chilly and the sky is gray

Should have left this place long ago without a delay

Somethings never change I think's it's safe to say

Especially when you're in exile on Melancholy Bay.
