I used to be a sailor Sailed across the seas But now I'm just an island Since they took my boat away from me Oh no I don't like being stationary No no no I like the rocky wavy motions of the sea I sit and rot behind these padded walls Hoping one day they'll fall And set me free He wrote his epitaph He wrote his eulogy He said think that I can die now My true love won't come for me Oh no I don't like being stationary I like the rocky wavy motions of the sea I sit and rot behind these padded walls Hoping one day they'll fall And set me free I used to be a sailor Who sailed across the seas But now I'm just an island Since they took my boat away from me I don't like being stationary I like the rocky wavy motions of the sea I sit and rot behind these padded walls Hoping one day they'll fall And set me free Set me free Set me free Set me free Set me free Set me free Set me free Set me free Set me free Set me free
