Awaiting my treasure drifting ashore  When from the galleys we're set free  And I'll never give you more  Than the time that we save  Magdelina I forgave  And I will feel everything  There are bridges burning here and we have to keep below  Lest the guns should overtake us and let out the final blow  A deserter I'll be hung, though every battle I have won  And I won't feel anything  Hey Magdelina, there is only now to lay aside  All the bad dreams of your past have been lost in the fire  Remember, soon I'll be back to bathe in your smile  And touch a long time indeed
