A song of separation and re-uniting?

We started out in Medieval England and slowly evolved into a lean mean music making machine
Merlin and the Gnometones were a garageband from the sixties. They toured the US playing for small audiences, living day to day. They recorded over 70 songs using what ever equipment they could borrow. Recently, a tape was discovered with 30 of their original recordings. (Ironically in a garage sale) They have been digitally remastered and posted here for your enjoyment. Seriously, I am a non-performing songwriter just trying to get his music out to people who may enjoy it. Most of it falls into the classic rock genre, but there is a little bit of everything here. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to listen.

Lyrics
They found me lying in the dump today An arm attached to no one in any way A heart tattoo adorns my arm With the name of a girl with plenty of charm She used to stroke me with her gentle hand Now I'm lying on this piece of land What became of my controller and master Please, will you dig through the garbage faster. You held my hand, as you fell asleep And I held your shoulder in the car. He said he'd give his right arm to you But this time, Lizzie, you went too far Now I'm lying on a cold slab I try to move my hand, it will not grab Please help me, I feel alone If I could speak, I think I would moan They just found my master shot through the head Does that mean that I'm really dead I'll be united with him again I can sense them carrying him in. You held my hand, as you fell asleep And I held your shoulder in the car. He said he'd give his right arm to you But this time, Lizzie, you went too far They found me lying in the dump today An arm attached to no one in any way (repeat and fade)
