The Rumjacks - Them Fallen lyrics

[The Rumjacks - Them Fallen lyrics]

I know you exist, for years I have said so
Though my arms couldn't hold you
My heart couldn't let go
Are you somewhere out there tonight
Still singin' to me?
I've been tempted to skip to
The edge of the story
Uncover whatever this lifes keepin' for me
But, I know in my heart that I'd
Yearn all the years in between
Oh, are you somewhere out there
Tonight still singin' to me?

And if fortune favours the brave &
Nothin much favours a slave
But the bones o' them
Fallen make poor company
Until you've pissed all yer Fridays away
Three blasts on her whistle to
Tell me she's leavin' me
Onto her next port of call
Now her portrait will hang like the
Rest down 'The Fortune of War'
And she knows I can't sleep with
No roof there above me
No matter how bitterly cold
Me old patch by the steps to
The harbour'll do me no harm
No never so long as I've courage
& strength in me arm

And if fortune favours the brave &
Nothin much favours a slave
But the bones o' them
Fallen make poor company
Until you've pissed all yer Fridays away

And if fortune favours the brave &
Nothin much favours a slave
But the bones o' them
Fallen make poor company
Until you've pissed all yer Fridays away

I still see their faces
The names though escape me
Some whisper greetin's & some o' them hate me
They've murdered this city I love
& silenced her call
And it's them who would say
It was better to love
They don't sound like they've
Lost much at all
Oh, and you pray for my soul?
I've no Gods & no masters above
Me & no further to fall

And if fortune favours the brave &
Nothin much favours a slave
But the bones o' them
Fallen make poor company
Until you've pissed all yer Fridays away
