The Taman Shud Case, also known as the Mystery of the Somerton Man, is an unsolved case of an unidentified man found dead at 6:30 a.m., 1 December 1948, on Somerton beach in Adelaide, South Australia. It is named for a phrase, tamam shud, meaning "ended" or "finished," on a scrap of the final page of The Rubaiyat, found in the hidden pocket of the man's trousers.
lyrics
I’ll stay outside
If you don’t mind
And I’ll be waiting
For a while
It kills me
The way you walked away
I’m getting nervous
Too anxious to wait
Where did I go wrong?
Only the waves
What did I say?
To make it all go this way
What makes you afraid?
Why are you so scared of me?
What is it in your hand?
Is it a blade?
You don’t have the eyes of a murderer
Didn’t I tell you?
Washed away
Only the waves know what’s on my mind tonight
Only the waves sing lullaby tonight
