atlasrose This song means the absolute world to me. I lost my beloved mare yesterday and I sent her off with this song. It wasn’t the best rendition, too many tears. But I know she felt the power in the melody and words to ease her cross into the next life. Thank you annie for sharing this magical piece. Favorite track: Odysseus.

lyrics

Should have told you I got back last night
There were no seats empty on my flight
Atmosphere conditions kept delaying

Over there I lived beside the sea
Now I’m just one more evacuee
So at least for now that means I’m staying

When the men untied Odysseus from the mast
He said not so fast
Let me hear the encore
On his midnight watch they noticed the strangest thing
He began to sing
He never did that before

Found my key still underneath the rock
Only now it won’t fit in the lock
Had to leave or else I’d try to pick it

Took a walk downtown to waste an hour
Wound up on the observation tower
Cause I had exact change for a ticket

When the men untied Odysseus from the mast
He said not so fast
Let me hear the encore
On his midnight watch they noticed the strangest thing
He began to sing
He never did that before

There’s the park where you did tai chi every morning
There’s the street where I got let off with a warning
There’s the church where I was late to your first wedding
There’s everything that I’ve been missing
Or dreading

Don’t have much to show for seven years
Dirty clothes and dockside souvenirs
All the rest is somewhere in the rubble

Here’s some wine that customs didn’t find
Have a glass before I change my mind
While you’re at it, I could use a double

When the men untied Odysseus from the mast
He said not so fast
Let me hear the encore
On his midnight watch they noticed the strangest thing
He began to sing
Steering close to the shore

When the men untied Odysseus from the mast
He said not so fast
Let me hear the encore
On his midnight watch they noticed the strangest thing
He began to sing
He never did that before
