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
   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
  
   He wrote his epitaph
   He wrote his eulogy
   It said "I think that I can die now
   For 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
