A Heart and a Cross

She gave me and anchor and a heart and a cross
She said they'll protect me when I'm on the battlefield
Then she gave up to me and night was a hideaway
Pillow the dawn, stalks the blanket
 
When two rays of the sun blaze above the horizon
I'll have a heart around my neck and a cross above me
Don't cry then, Camilla, don't cry then, Camilla
Find yourself someone who will hopefully want you more than I did
 
I saw a fisherman, he stood above his boat
In a storm on the sea, anchor went down
I took the anchor off the chain under my face
May the world not collapse, he had only one
 
When two rays of the sun blaze above the horizon
I'll have a heart around my neck and a cross above me
Don't cry then, Camilla, don't cry then, Camilla
Find yourself someone who will hopefully want you more than I did
 
Epaulets were gilded only by the stirred dust
The sand was tin before were crossed the night
I lost the cross and with it my fear
I wouldn't give a red cent for it
 
When two rays of the sun blaze above the horizon
I'll have a heart around my neck and a cross above me
Don't cry then, Camilla, don't cry then, Camilla
Find yourself someone who will hopefully want you more than I did
 
I looked up and quietly laughed
Suddenly a light flashed, I felt a sting in my chest
My angel was inviting me where the clouds are
I didn't feel pain, then everything went quiet
 
When two rays of the sun blaze above the horizon
I'll have a heart around my neck and a cross above me
Don't cry then, Camilla, don't cry then, Camilla
Find yourself someone who will hopefully want you more than I did
