The Sailor Song |
| Sometimes I feel his feet |
| When I’m fast asleep |
| I know that I’m dreaming |
| But the touch is soft and sweet |
| I went to see the silent sailor |
| And the sailor said |
| «Do not forget my face, my friend |
| For if you do I’m dead» |
| «Well, I don’t see how that could be» |
| I said to him as well |
| As peeling off a piece of paper |
| Stuck to my lapel |
| The sailor fell upon his knees |
| Then he fell beside |
| The cedar chest that he had carved |
| Then I think he died |
| Well, this was curious, I thought |
| So I wandered in And saw that there was something written |
| On his wrinkled skin |
| Well, I thought the thoughts of little children |
| And the thoughts of men |
| I thought the thoughts of stupid people |
| Who have never been |
| So much in love as they should be And got confused too easily |
| To fall in love again |
| To fall in love again |
| And so I say goodbye to you |
| And hope that maybe someday soon |
| We will meet again up there |
| For death is fair and friends are few |
| Friends are few |
| Friends are few |
| Friends are few |
