Hello sailor
Welcome to the land of legs
Your heart is the same colour as my fingernails blue
Ice cold, from the cold
Hello sailor
And now your hearts gone away from you
It’s lost to the sea and a fish tried to eat it but spat it out
It spat it out
So shall I cut your hair
And shall I shave your beard
And then dance with you till dawn
Cause today is February
and you’ll be gone by June
Oh I always wanted a seafaring man like you
Today is February
and you’ll be gone by June
To reclaim that heart the sea has taken from you
Hello sailor
A giddy smile, a tipsy wink
You belong to a crowd that I know nothing about
No nothing at all
Not the handshake for sure
So hello sailor
From whence you came surely you will go
But I’m not sure that differs from all of us with bones
You to the water, us to the sky
So shall I clean your clothes
and shall I wash your face
and then kiss you strong till dawn
Cause today is February
and you’ll be gone by June
Oh I always wanted a seafaring man like you
Today is February
and you’ll be gone by June
To reclaim that heart the sea has taken from you
Today is February
and you’ll be long gone by June
You’ll be leaving so fast you’ll forget I’ll be left here loving you
You’ll be a great story to tell
Adventure and love wrapped up in a sea-salty smell
and when i’m old and dying I’ll still be smiling about us
