Let these words remind you
Of the girl with the golden eyes
How she would stare off into the distance
Not showing she was traumatized

Her days are filled with pain
Her nights of memory passed
Of a sailor who loved her
A love that did not last

For months they kissed
Under the cherry trees
Their smell so sweet
While there was a breeze

But one day he left
With his pole in his grasp
They shared one more moment
They did not know it'd be their last

She waited with the sun
And she stayed awake with the moon
But her lovely sailor boy
Was in his water tomb

She cried for many days
Asking how could it be
God whispered in her ear
"Don't worry miss, your sailor boy is now with me."
