My Companion

Oh, my companion, what could I give
To this old land where my family lived?
I served in the cavalry on the front line
Fought in the desert long past the time
Came around
There's something to this day that sticks around

Well, oh my companion, what could I bring
To make a half life feel whole again?
Now enter the altar, offer to bleed
Strengthen my blood for my family
'Cause I’m back
There's something that I gave that I can’t get back

Well, oh, my good darling, how she did leave
Since I’m not the same as I used to be
And, oh, my good savior, how could you go?
I’m watching the walls fall at Jericho
Coming down
There's something to this day that sticks around

Well, oh, my companion, like a disease
There’s a black cloud hanging over me
I have no good fortune, gave my last [?]
Where are they now in my time of need?
'Cause I’m back
There's something that I gave that I can’t get back

Well, oh, my companion, now I do roam
In empty houses and catacombs
The sheriff won’t follow, follow me none
Heaven's a Bible and hell's when it’s done
'Cause I’m back
There's something that I gave that I can’t get back
