Sounds like it might be about Dido in the Aeneid... come for two days, letters to the prince of the desert, asking for her hand, and all the romance...
his voice is like nothing else... his songs too; at the end it's as if he's trying to convince himself that he's okay, yet he can't cure the hurt of his girl moving on to someone else...
It sounds really strange but I always imagine his songs are about someone, maybe not Lisa, but I find that he shows such emotion and power in them that they must be...
SERIOUSLY! All of damiens songs, wether it's his own, or it's a cover, should be recorded, and released... Cause, he has done so unbelievable many recordings, and all of'em are wonderful!...
It's Damo's own song. However, you've made some lyrical mistakes here: Is that it, my friend? We've come to the end? With only two days now when you've letters to send to the prince of the desert. The print's in the sand... etc. Then later it's actually Now I've come to a dam: to question the boy, question the man. The chorus ends with If not for my jealousy. There's a whole other verse which Lisa clearly forgot here (usually it's Damo who forgets his own lyrics) I'll try to find that for you.
haha, i knew there was something missing there...they played it off rather well though...well i guess the lyrics are pretty debatable, but there are probably better versions out there w/ a less distorted audio...i'll just go w/ what you have
dr loves leonard cohen, in a wonderfully weird quote, he said that if he was to float away in a balloon & only take d work of one artist with him, it wud b leonard cohens. He also played hallelujah when lc was being inducted in2 d rock n roll hall of fame in new york a couple o yrs ago

Here are the lyrics that were left out of this version: Is that it, my friend? We'll just say goodnight Well I hope you sleep well
I hope you sleep tight I hope in your dreams
That he loves your eyes Like I did just for awhile. Is that it, my friend? We've come to the end Of a beautiful day Where I can pretend
I can open these ears I can open my eyes
I can scrape the bottom And still touch the sky
