Lyrics

My dear albatross
Once I followed you close
The lights are fading fading gone
Albatross I did, I did you wrong

Now the ebbing of the tide
Once the child for you to guide
Journey through endless sky
I tried but now you see, I can’t fly

So here, take this rope
I’ll wrap it tight around your throat
Now you’ll never be alone
Now you’ll never be alone
So here, take this chain
And from it I will hang
Now I‘ll never leave your side
Now I‘ll never leave your side

The way was far, the way was clear
Belief did not out weigh my fear
The part of you that’s part of me
I drowned us both into the open sea

So here, take this rope
And wrap it tight around your throat
Now you’ll never be alone
Now you’ll never be alone
So here, take this chain
And from it I will hang
Now I‘ll never leave your side
Now I‘ll never leave your side

My dear albatross I am to blame
The girl knew not from where you came
Your gift of wings I tossed away
My dear albatross I lost my way
