Dumb little ditty based on the myth of the heikeganeย
I lost you in the Battle ofย Burgundy Bay And I waited for you everydayย When I got the ย news, I wasted away But you came back home, you came back home to me
No doubt you clawed your way out of the wreck And I rescued you from the crabber's net You don't say much now, oh war takes its toll But you're home with me, you're home, and that's good as gold
They said, oh honey it's the grief that's talkin' They said, shush now, there's people gossipin' They said, this'll pass, this'll pass, this'll pass But none of them saw you in the crab's back
ย When I lost you, they ran me right out of our town They said I was lost too, but I knew I was found So I left our home, their words were so cruel And I'll live and die with you in the tidal pool
