13.01.2022 "I never will forget that day she cried so many tears I'd never seen so many tears before She asked me if I'd think of her, and I said perhaps I would But I'd often broke my promises before And then she stood, and sat and slept, and then began to weep... And when I saw that, we parted on the shore" Austin would often be heard in his cell at night shouting, talking loudly and singing. His babbling was often punctuated by "God Save the King" and snatches of the song "We Parted On The Shore".
