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
