Donovan

Lady, you are my peace of mind
Were I to seek your par, none could I find
You delicately went to Curry Land
And left a lonely man
Ah, me, yogi blue
He thought to himself as he sat before
His stocks and shares a dreadful bore
If Im happy to live another happy day
I best make haste, and be on my way
Oh, me, oh my
He at his desk did write and indicate
To lawyer friends and intimate
His lamentable grief did necessitate
The need for one swift bird to sail the ocean oer
A sailing schooner was soon seen sailing
Swift and silent around the sound
Saluting seagulls heralding
The wonderous transport upon the wing
Twenty days from Goa they did espie
A wealthy merchant bound for Arabi-iy
Exchange greetings
Had he heard the news:
The Lady Hall had drowned
The price of Ninevah Rose
Storms and tempest shattered mind beset
Hurricanes of pains raged and tore
To haunted trinkets and gross despair
All in the white neath shade
In bamboo chair
Military discipline has replaced despair
Anchored in the bay of innocence
Is left a lonely man
Lonely through and through.
