John Greer buried on an island
Never thought we’d find him
I can see the grave from here
It’s in my eyeline
Over the horizon

Sunken out at sea like pirate
So unfortunate
A mystery from the war
Lost on the shore
And nothing more

Don’t know where he comes from
Don’t know how he died
If I knew the answers
It wouldn’t change his life

John Greer buried on an island
Never thought we’d find him
Left without the spoils
Like we all do
And you will too

Don’t know how he got here
In the Gulf of Mexico
They say his exit’s circumspect (he left us)
But really no one knows

Hmm mmm mmm

John Greer buried on an island
Never thought we’d find him
