I left my country when i was 19, 1925
and drifted to a town on the Cuban coast
met a women who became my life
and oh, when i saw her
darkness fled from me
flew like a blackbird into the sun
on the day she married me

dear God, dear God
i remember climbing up those shoulders
coming up under you
like a lion
coming down, like we were dying
dear God

but now the drumbirds come for me
oh now the drumbirds come for me
and Lord give me forgiveness
for all that i have done
forgive me now for the weight i bear
don't keep me on the run

dear God, dear God
i remember climbing up those shoulders
coming up under you
like a lion
coming down, like we were dying
dear God
