Callao Lyrics by Robbie Schaefer

Ruby

2014

On the long road to Callao
And the way home is fraught with fear
Within the darkness, there is a kindness
Into this kindness I'll disappear
All the wild flowers in the night hours
Turn their faces to the moon
Said the old man to the orphan
I'll be going home soon
Said the old man to the orphan . .
So come and sit beside me on the water
Before the morning fades from my memory
We are evermore becoming the only ones wе ever are to bе
We are evermore becoming the only ones we ever are to be
There are stories of shameful glory
I never hurried to hurt anyone
I was a young kid--can't believe what I did
When they handed me a helmet and a gun
Then there's our old Jeep--boy you were so sweet
You were steering, sittin’ on my lap
Then I let go, you flying solo
Son do you remember that?
When I let go, you flying solo
So come and sit beside me on the water
Before the morning fades from my memory
We are evermore becoming the only ones we ever are to be
We are evermore becoming the only ones we ever are to be
I’m on the long road to Callao
And the way home is fraught with fear
Within the darkness, there is a kindness
Into your kindness I'll disappear
Within the darkness, there is a kindness . .
