He lived alone
On a lonely boat
He played his song
Just to stay afloat
He met a girl
With golden hair
She stole his heart
And left him bare
The misty sea
Did drown his tears
The wind did moan
And hushed his fears
The night was black
The ship it sighed
Wind in the sails
Our sailor died

Proper girls, spread your wings
Mountain light, shines so bright
Burn your hair, waste some time
Fly up or down below, gather up your bones
