for a fragile moment's ease

a long way from the mainland forgotten by the crown

there's a cabin by the lookout cliff in this sleepy little town

where there's laughter in the orchard and me small'uns run around

and me soul mate sings a lovesong from a distant county down

in a harbor town bordello with the cattle i was raised

this mwas any years ago now and a long way from this place

but to rise up from the gutters

there's a price you have to pay

you tell me

was it worth it?" when you've listened to my tale
