It was a day like today
A Sunday afternoon when they took you away
With a magazine and a suitcase
They stole your clothes
I took your watch
I couldn't...

Took a walk yesterday
To the places we would play
Then Charlie passed away
And it hasn't been the same
On this island in the sea
That was made for you...

Where the girls don't sing, and the boys don't fight

Made love to a Cajun dancer
Then several hours later
Life's a little shorter
The drink that overwhelmed me
Such confusion ...

Everything you know stripped to the bone
