Up on the hilltop you can watch the cargo ships
Slowly pass from the scaffolds
They stopped building these homes so long, long ago
Lonely seagull, bluest sky my burning eye ever did see
And we took off our bloody shirts and shoes
Danced in the dirt while our shadows grew
Set a lie to every name we knew
And swore never to come back
Well, I'll carry these bones with me
Across the border, I'm coming for you
No, I'm no devil
Just a bad man, baby, it's true
With the sun, oh the burning sun, it saw
It heard the cries hidden by the ocean's roar
Down where the dogwood grows, my dear
I'll be seeing you, I'll be seeing you real soon
Well, I'll carry these bones with me
Across the border, I'm coming for you
