The Extraordinaires - Ribbons of War Part II The Captain lyrics

Here's the tale I never lived to tell This is my farewell When we were younger lovers it was easier to bear I a man of open sea and her of open air Open sails and k**er whales an ocean life for me But soaring wings and weightless things were for my wife to be Opposites attracted us like magnets to the pole but People are much different than my handy compa** rose Time was unforgiving and our love fell in disrepair I prepared for war as she tied ribbons in her hair Ribbons of war - and battle in her hair She was in her aeroplane and I was in my boat When she lost control the explosion k**ed us both As our ships went down in flames our ashes stayed afloat In life we were not meant to be in d**h we are so close In d**h we finally mix as we sink in the abyss Swinging on that swingset and walking hand in hand If only we had found a love and kept it on dry land Looking down on city lights and up at starry nights I hated havin' words but you're so pretty when you fight But now we're sinking fast Down here at the bottom we can mingle with the fish In d**h we finally mix my love, give in to the abyss
