Robbie Williams - The Road to Mandalay

 

Save me from drowning in the sea 

Beat me up on the beach 

What a lovely holiday 

There's nothing funny left to say 

This sombre song would drain the sun 

But it won't shine until it's sung 

No water running in the stream 

The saddest place we've ever seen 

Everything I touched was golden 

Everything I loved got broken 

On the road to Mandalay 

Every mistake I've ever made 

Has been rehashed and then replayed 

As I got lost along the way

 

There's nothing left for you to give 

The truth is all that you're left with 

Twenty paces then at dawn 

We will die and be reborn 

I like to sleep beneath the trees 

Have the universe at one with me 

Look down the barrel of a gun 

And feel the Moon replace the Sun 

Everything we've ever stolen 

Has been lost returned or broken 

No more dragons left to slay 

Every mistake I've ever made 

Has been rehashed and then replayed 

As I got lost along the way

 

Save me from drowning in the sea 

Beat me up on the beach 

What a lovely holiday 

There's nothing funny left to say
