Axon Burgess

My name is Axon Burgess
I am broken and thin
I went to fight for glory and right
but only drank more gin 

Before he died
my friend would confide 
about his sister's beauty
if her eyes did look at me 
her eyes would look right through me 

What are you doing in this town?
Who are you looking for,sir?
The girl who's face launched many a ship
I am looking for her 

What are you doing in this town?
Who are you looking for,sir?
The girl who is a cathedral of butterflies
I am looking for her 

What are you doing in this town? 
Who are you looking for,sir?
The girl who walks as gentle as a fawn 
I am looking for her
