There is no peace in the doldrums Sing of me as a warning, lost at sea The people in the lighthouse are gone The light remains on But I'm on a boat in the dark Apart from my family who mourns "me" So I beg of you, erase me But do not bury me in a quiet place For I cannot bear to be without rain Let nature lament over my fate even with coarse sand
I am sick of the doldrums' lies Sweep me up in a storm and let this false peace die Bring me to the beach for it calmed my parents And it never fails to shush me
The moon shines on you And you are its puppet Perhaps there is a prospect of an appeal on my behalf? To the light that does not burn the eyes to look at Do not fret, I'll tell you what to say, it's very common Do not let me rot alone forgotten
