From the recording Animal Life
Lyrics
BES
I'm a soldier of the Queen
Oh, I shark the blackest sea
Bloody spaces where we went
and white the faces of my friends
She's the playmate of the King
Tho, they're not on speaking terms
See her in the garden wing
The courtesan and beggars sing
Black eyed suzie by the fire
See them gathered in the dark
Every friend we had was luck
who else would remember us
Empty halls of God's gone by
the silver hair and laughing eyes
I'm the last who knows the sound
I carry till it's known by known
Black eyed suzie by the fire
See them gathered in the dark
every friend we had was luck
who else would remember us
Black eyed suzie by the fire
See them gathered in the dark
every friend we had was luck
who else would remember us
