Problem Addict - Once and Future Band

They paid me in gold to find where the night meets day

The Queen blew a kiss as I sailed out across the bay

I soon met misfortune among the salt and spray

I’m just a sailor who long ago

Lost his way

They sent me to war where I ditched my gun and hid

In a ditch with the dead ‘til the reaper descended

She swooped in like a swallow and swallowed me whole

I’m just a soldier who long ago

Lost his soul

Wandering the halls of my own penitentiary

Hauled every stone and placed each one so carefully

Rounded up my enemies and locked them all away with me

I’m just a jailer who long ago

Lost the key
