Your smile is the sun That every once in a while Peaks from behind the clouds. But most of the time, I'm out here rocking a midst this wicked storm, That no god would be cruel enough To dream up for a sailor like me.
This wooden ship is sinking, I wish it were iron. I never did get enough iron Probably because I'm a vegetarian. If my dreams can keep this ship alive Just for three or four more days Maybe a beautiful siren, Or mermaid Will grant me the mercy and compassion Of luring me to my death.
I've set out to sea, On a boat that's just too small. But on board there's only me. A captain with no shots to call.
