Sailor

What would you be if the waves set you free

And the wind in your hair brought you sailing to me

Tied up on the shore would you weary no more?

When will it be, when will it be

What would I be if a hurricane came

Would I be clever, would I be shamed

Would I lie helpless, cast up on the flames

What will I be, what will I be

I will be here forever

Till the river runs into the sea

I will always be silent

And hold my head up

And we will be sailors no more

Where would we go

To the sand or the snow

Wander in memories or let them all go

Would we be dreamers, helplessly so

Where would we go, where would we go

I will be here forever

Till the river runs into the sea

I will always be silent

And hold my head up

Till we will be sailors no more

Let's run right out of the city tonight

With our hair tied up and lips sealed tight

I will cry no more, I said I will cry no more

Like an empty tourist at the world fair

I could only stand and stare

And let it pass by me, let it pass me by

I never should have said out loud

That I wanted to save the world

But I let it slip away, I just let it slip away

The only thing I wanted to be

Was the perfect one who killed for free

And I will try no more, I say I will try no more

But now we are together we won't turn back

Where the boats are burned and the ties are black

And I will cry no more, I will cry no more
