I saw the celebration end I saw you with Magdalena She wore my patience ultra thin She winked at all the sailors I saw you carve a memory Your blood splashed on the pavement You threw my sympathy at me I wished you'd be a painter
Then I smiled as I wished her away
Her bed is only half made Her head is full of sand If she's rough then he will tumble She's probably half a man
So I smiled as I wished her away
I saw the celebration end My friends were wearing thin I took to hanging out alone You took to drugs and drink
And I smiled as I welcomed you home Yeah I smiled as I welcomed you home Yeah I smiled as I welcomed you home Yeah I smiled as I welcomed you home
