As the golden ribbons
of sunset's light,
bow to nightfall's birth,
the purple evening clouds set sail,
like balloons above the earth.

The ocean waters darken,
the horizon starts to fade,
starlight diamonds dimly grace,
this grand blue yonder stage.

To those I know,
to those I love,
to those I hold as true,
this sailor bids adieu to you,
good night lost souls,
till morrow's bloom.
