In a far away place, on a far away beach, lives a sailor by the sea
He built himself a hut, he built himself a life, waiting on bended knee

Long ago, and further away, the sailor met a girl, by the sea
He waved at her, and she waved back, and love began to be

But she was far, far far away, on a cruise ship, in the sea
And he was a sailor, that could not sail, no sea legs did have he

He just stood there, and felt his toes run over by the sea
Watched her sail away, to distant land, true sailor, he cannot be

The sailor stayed on a beach, in a hut, by the sea
Hoping one day the girl comes back, so he could sail, and one day might be free
Just a terrible parable
