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
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 ever battle I had 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
