I Used to Be a Sailor

I used to be a sailor
Who sailed across the seas
But now I’m just an island
Since they took my boat away from me
Oh no
I don’t like being stationary
I like the rocky wavy motions of the sea
I sit and rot behind these padded walls
Hoping one day they’ll fall
And set me free
He wrote his epitaph
He wrote his eulogy
It said «I think that I can die now
For my true love won’t come for me»
Oh no
I don’t like being stationary
I like the rocky wavy motions of the sea
I sit and rot behind these padded walls
Hoping one day they’ll fall
And set me free
I used to be a sailor
Who sailed across the seas
But now I’m just an island
Since they took my boat away from me
Oh no
I don’t like being stationary
I like the rocky wavy motions of the sea
I sit and rot behind these padded walls
Hoping one day they’ll fall
And set me free
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free
