A Letter From Bilbao lyrics

I am writing you this letter in desperation I`m afraid
And I won`t be back to Lindsay for the veterans` parade
`Cause I got banged up pretty good in a street-fight in Bilbao
And I won`t be coming home to see your young and pretty face

I am far too young to feel so old
And far too tired to care
That I took down twenty bastards before they left me lying here

When I landed here a year ago I know that I believed
That it was better to die upon your feet than to live upon your knees
And it`s not that I care any less for that philosophy
But I would spend one night with you in trade for all that I`ve achieved

`Cause I was never much on dreams
And they were never big on me
And I can`t dream my way home from a grave-sight by the sea

So I`ll clench my fist and once more sing the Internationale
And I`ll say, `goodbye, I love you.`

`Cause it`s time that I should go
