Lyrics

On hills steep… Far from home. Where the grass is deep… And the mind roams. At the peak… Old white stones. Very asleep… Dead & alone. Headstones tell… Of love or sin. Heaven & hell… and past kin. This stone head… Made me grin. All it said… Was Finnigan. That's all… No goodbye. No recall… Of when you died. How did you fall… Or if you lied. A deadly brawl… I had to know why. And so my mind… Quickly framed. A fable in kind… From only one name. A story in time… Without shame. A kin of mine… Our names the same. Hello Finnigan. Who lived back when. You traveled the world. And back again. Where were you going? Where have you been? It's good to see you my old friend. The story cries… Your lost at sea. How and why… At 23. The crew defied… A mutiny. Then you died… Hard to believe. The soul of a gypsy… The heart of a king. A life at sea… On angels wing. Your love was she… A sea to sing. Your life was free… Then 5 bells ring. But if that is so… This can't be. A headstone… That's NOT at sea. Only I know… A lie you see. As buried below… Is just your ring. Hello Finnigan. Who lived back when. You traveled the world. And back again. Where were you going? Where have you been? It's good to see you my old friend.
