Spreadeagle - Scipio lyrics

Scipio knew what to do He said "Farewell, I am leaving I know my way, I know the world Is waiting for me" Scipio (Scipio was on the road), he was on the road (And he heard the birds all singing) And he heard the birds on the sea (They seem to say he'll see the way to go) And they seem to say he will see the way to go at last ("I must've seen the way to go at last") Oh brother, I've had nothing to eat since yesterday Brother, give me a piece of bread Brother, have you got a place where I can wash my face And be cool and be clean and be rested and be safe? Scipio sang songs of love And he hoped that someone could hear him But no one heard, no not a single word he sang, he sang Scipio (Scipio was out at sea) was out at sea (And he saw that his boat was sinking) And he saw that his boat was a-sinking (He bowed his head, he sighed) He bowed his head, he sighed (He said "My life is done, my life is done, is done") He said "My life is done" ("My life is done") Brother, I've had nowhere to sleep for oh so long Brother, do you think that you could spare a bed? Brother, have you got a patch of brown where I can lay me down? All I need is a place to rest my head Oh brother, I've had nothing to eat since yesterday Brother, give me a piece of bread Brother, have you got a patch of brown where I can lay me down? Lay me down All I need is a place to rest my head
