lyrics
FORGOTTEN SAILOR
He sailed away into darkness
Into a forgotten sea
He wanted so much to be a sailing man
He wanted so bad to be free
Through storms and high water he struggled to find
A place where he could ease his mind
So he gave into misery, he gave into time
Never again he’d see sunlight
Do I bare myself to lose you again
Do I close my eyelids and pray for your return
Your days astray left me with memories that I would like to forget
That I need to forget
He walks through the streets like a ghost so unknown
Pulling at his arms the evils of this town
He begs, steals, to hold a fix in his hand
I’ll whisper my prayer for him, til the end
Do I bare myself to lose you again
Do I close my eyelids and pray for your return
Your days astray left me with memories that I would like to forget
That I need to forget
Many years passed by, that sailor unseen
No word of his boat, his suffering
Some people say he ran his ship to the ground
But I don’t believe them cause nothings been found
And I’m sure I saw him in the afternoon light
A lady in his arms sailing into the night
And his eyes were so clear, he smiled at me
My prayers were answered my sailor was free
He sailed away into darkness
Into a forgotten sea
He wanted so much to be a sailing man
He wanted so bad to be free
Through storms and high water he struggled to find
A place where he could ease his mind
So he gave into misery, he gave into time
Never again he’d see sunlight
Do I bare myself to lose you again
Do I close my eyelids and pray for your return
Your days astray left me with memories that I would like to forget
That I need to forget
He walks through the streets like a ghost so unknown
Pulling at his arms the evils of this town
He begs, steals, to hold a fix in his hand
I’ll whisper my prayer for him, til the end
Do I bare myself to lose you again
Do I close my eyelids and pray for your return
Your days astray left me with memories that I would like to forget
That I need to forget
Many years passed by, that sailor unseen
No word of his boat, his suffering
Some people say he ran his ship to the ground
But I don’t believe them cause nothings been found
And I’m sure I saw him in the afternoon light
A lady in his arms sailing into the night
And his eyes were so clear, he smiled at me
My prayers were answered my sailor was free
