Charles’ Song Lyrics by Makai Keur, Julian Watson

#IWriteMusicals: Musical Theater Songwriting Challenge (2019 Edition)

2020

[CHARLES WILLIAMS]
Was a brother in the trenches with me
We were allies on one side of history
And we fought for the right to go home and lay down and be free
When I came back from the war, I was lost
We had won, but what was the cost?
I would drink, I would cry, watch my life pass me by, I would say
My brother in arms has now gone away
Promoted, advanced, allegiance astray
Alone in Australia until that one day
I found her, my muse
My Mavis, oh, how sweet
She picked me up and brushed off the dust
She won my heart and earned all my trust
My savior that day, made the doubt go away
Go away, go away
I fell into love, her beautiful smile
Her wit and her charm, they put me on trial
Mavis, oh Mavis, just stay for a while
She swept me away, my only
I gave her my life and she ripped out my heart
I left her alone and he tore us apart
He may have saved my life but now he takes it away
My brother in arms has left me betrayed
He’s dead to me now, my debt’s been repaid
Alone in a prison cell, until that one day
[CHARLES & (ENSEMBLE)]
I’ll have my revenge
(Oh Mavis, oh Mavis)
I’ll take what he gave
(Oh Mavis, oh mavis) (She was the one for you)
So they’ll know my pain
And one of us will never be the same
