lyrics

with an atlas in my pocket and a stone upon my wing
I ran away to Athens, but it didn't change a thing
when I close my eyes and listen I can barely hear,
but there's always just a whisper of your voice my dear

and it's louder every day
and it's harder not to say
the things we both know
so I just sing them sweet,
sweet and low

I put salt on my food, now it tastes like salt
the ashes are a-fallin' I can't see at all
and now that I am stuck here I will drink my life in sips
and I will eat some berries just to stain my lips

and my dusty feet are worn
and I swear, I could've sworn I was ready to go
but I'm just singin sweet,
sweet and low
