Tell no Tales

Cleaning up the mess

Never felt good I guess, but

At least I passed the test

I failed once & I won't forget

I'm struck by what you said

I almost left myself for dead, but

Dead men tell no tales

Never thought I'd make it out alive

Better now I've seen the other side

Twenty-odd years hung me out to dry, now I've arrived

So I'm homebound and I'm moving up

New sense of myself is proof enough

Waves that nearly drowned

Undertow that weighed and pulled me down

Lost it like a king without his crown

Until I felt my feet on solid ground

Now I'm cleaning up the mess

Never felt good I guess, but

At least I passed the test

I failed once & I won't forget

I'm struck by what you said

I almost left myself for dead, but

Dead men tell no tales

Waves that nearly drowned

Undertow that weighed and pulled me down

Lost it like a king without his crown

But dead men, dead men tell no tales
