Isobel Campbell - Isobel Campbell/M.Lanegan - Ballad Of The Broken Seas (2006) by Isobel Campbell (보컬) on maniadb.com

Against my will to these sad shores
An unknown force has drawn me
Bound unto a future shaped by ancestors before me
Day on day I march the beat to someone else's drum
I have searched far foreign lands there's nowhere left to run

Impending storm rise up rise up
Oh demons I shall shame you!
Look down the barrel of my gun and one by one I'll name you
Day on day my brothers leave go marching off to war
Yet we never understand for what we're fighting for

Ubi caritas et amor
(Where there is tender care and love)
Ubi caritas
(Where there is tender care)
Deus ibi est
(God is present)

Worldly desires and worldly gains
Designed for worldly men
I'm a master of the heart with ears and hands to lend
Soldiers come and soldiers go some changed by love for thee
A circle in the chain of life all fighting to be free

Ubi caritas et amor
Ubi caritas
Deus ibi est

So come my lord and we shall dance
To God's own private drum
Sweet Jesus and the holy vine
The afterlife to come
Day on day I march the the beat to someone else's drum
I have searched far foreign lands there's nowhere left to run

Ubi caritas et amor
Ubi caritas
Deus ibi est

I met a man, whom I never doubt
Flew into the sun, our bodies on fire
Betrothed to a mate, pray it is not so
Invoke father time, then he let her go

Lie true lie true lie true lie true
Lie true lie true lie true lie true
Lie true lie true lie true lie true
Lie true lie true lie true lie true

I know a dog, much blacker than night
Who lives in a house where nothing is right
All sorrow and? riches at bay
All watching a few to the li-??

Lie true lie true lie true lie true
Lie true lie true lie true lie true
Lie true lie true lie true lie true
Lie true lie true lie true lie true

Some dream of coins or some beauty's find
But I want the truth while I serve my time
Most complex and pain, I'd share it with you
The moon looks bright so come say I do

Lie true lie true lie true lie true
Lie true lie true lie true lie true
Lie true lie true lie true lie true
Lie true lie true lie true lie true

I bring you a tale of the broken seas
And I'm drowning in whiskey and beer
My doctor reports if I don't stop soon
I'll drown in an ocean of tears

I looked to you and saw my desire
Went from the frying pan into the fire
Surrendered to sorrow and was undone
Now I'm praying that it won't be long

We fucked up the sun into kingdom come
You are under my blood and my skin
Living life at each other's throats
In the gilded sailboat of sin

Ours was an ocean to swim around in
Ours was an ocean I should have drowned in
My doctor reports that we must be strong
But I'm praying that it won't be long

I know what you do
I will soon catch you

Now after all
Don't it feel like nothing
Like walking away
Like a mouthful of rain

At twelve o'clock
A bell starts ringing
A dog starts barking
And you're still missing

Still missing something
You've never known what it was

And I'm not one for thinking twice
But I know this much is true
The earth will turn, the pot'll burn
And you are my revolver

Just waking up
Some dogs start barking
A bell starts ringing
And you're still missing

And after all
Don't it feel like nothing
Like walking away
Like a mouthful of rain

I'm holding on
'Cause you're my revolver
And I dreamed of an ending
And flying away

Oh dusty wreath
Your loving was everything
Oh dusty wreath
Your loving was everything to me

The party is over now
So draw the curtains down
Your secret is safe to keep
Unzip your velvet gown
And let your hair hang loose
Kick off your satin shoes
Throw back the eiderdown
Farewell to the friday's clown

Circus is leaving town
Oh Ruby, roll your stockings down
Circus is leaving town
Oh Ruby, dry your eyes

Fixed up something to eat
Still water still run deep
The dogs are barking now
Get back out on the street

Circus is leaving town
Oh Ruby, roll your stockings down
Circus is leaving town
So Ruby, dry your eyes

The party is over now
Stop howling at the moon
You need a different beat
You need a different tune

Remember that old song
We heard when we were young
Life was an empty page
The world would write upon

Do you recall the meadow grass
We sat and watched the hours pass?
You were such a good girl then
Oh, Ruby, dry your eyes

Circus is leaving town
Oh Ruby, roll your stockings down
Circus is leaving town
So Ruby, dry your eyes

You're searching when you walk
You're searching when you talk
You could make me believe
That the sun sets in the east
The sun sets in the east
The sun sets in the east
