A Sailor
music & lyrics by E. Tiberi

A sailor on the quay
I asked him “what are you gazing?”
She said she'll be my little girl
I knew things come and go that's right
She said you are the only one
She promised me herself
She offered me her love
She promised and she lied
So now we say goodbye
So now we say goodbye
and now I say goodbye
She said she'll be my little girl
I knew things come and go that's right
she said you'll be the only one
I walk alone and smile again”
Now I know
On and on again among the waves I sail
The winds have taught me not to pray
On and on again against the sun I face
The wounds have taught me you may fail
She said I don't wanna be alone
She said I don't wanna say I don't wanna be alone
She said I don't wanna say I don't wanna say I don't wanna be alone
Another place is set, Another way to go
I'm gazing at the tide Cos' it's time to say goodbye
The salt up in my nose, The new upon my lips
They taste that bitter sweet That makes me wanna smile
“New shores oh won't you see?” Replied the man to me
Oh won't you come and be
forget the past and live
forget the past and live
