Sailor song

With the first light and the little fragile moon
I was out on the porch now I´m ready for doom
And it´s funny how it all came to be
The way you so plainly chose to stare at me
And the afternoon embraces you like a million worried hands
And I want to look forward go discover foreign land
In the mirror I was balancing on tiny strings
It looks silly but oh really it´s just a physical thing
So tell me why you´d ask me to do as I please
I would rather fall backwards and forget everything
And I´ve tried to call on you when I know you´re not home
I´m not ready for this but it´s the way it goes
It was easier when I knew nothing of what I´d missed
You´re so happy I can see it and that´s the worst part of it
So let her take you out on sea
I will wave to you from the harbor oh little silly me
The sailors leave in the morning
I´ll be waiting for you all night
The ship sets off in the morning
I´ll be waiting for you all right
I was out on the porch now I´m ready for doom
And it´s funny how it all came to be
The way you so plainly chose to stare at me
And the afternoon embraces you like a million worried hands
And I want to look forward go discover foreign land
In the mirror I was balancing on tiny strings
It looks silly but oh really it´s just a physical thing
So tell me why you´d ask me to do as I please
I would rather fall backwards and forget everything
And I´ve tried to call on you when I know you´re not home
I´m not ready for this but it´s the way it goes
It was easier when I knew nothing of what I´d missed
You´re so happy I can see it and that´s the worst part of it
So let her take you out on sea
I will wave to you from the harbor oh little silly me
The sailors leave in the morning
I´ll be waiting for you all night
The ship sets off in the morning
I´ll be waiting for you all right
