"...Then in Time Passing on Mr. Johnson Died..." Songtext
von Sting & Edin Karamazov

Then, in time passing
One Mr. Johnson died and I became an humble suitor for his place
Thinking myself most worthiest
But I saw that I was like to go without it
And that any might have preferment but I

Whereby I began to sound the cause
And guessed that my religion was my hindrance
Whereupon, my mind being troubled
I desired to get beyond the seas
