Rosie & Max - Abney Park

He was just 23, cut like a rake

Narrow and strong, eyes deep as a lake

He was captain and crew to his craft made of chrome

For the enemies' guns left him all alone

The bombs had all dropped, they levelled the land

So he found an island and put it down on the sand

He walked up the beach between torch and palm trees

Found a small bamboo hut and a warm nightly breeze

She was barely 19, all freckles and smiles

She carried a tray full of coconut vials

Her mom and her dad were doctor and nurse

They’d been killed in the war

She had naught in her purse

She walked on the beach, she slept in the shack

And when he walked in, she got her smile back

She saw in his eyes the rest of her life

She would follow his journeys;

best friend or his wife

He was just 21, cut like a rake

Narrow and strong, eyes deep as a lake

He was captain and crew to his craft made of chrome

For the enemies' guns left him all alone

The bombs had all dropped, they levelled the land

So he found an island and put it down on the sand

He walked up the beach between torch and palm trees

Found a small bamboo pub and a warm nightly breeze
