Music: Voltaire, Kitzis, Goeke, Sorino
'Twas the worst of times for tinkers like you and me. β
So in search of fortune I took to the sea.
Round my neck, a key you said was to your heart. β
Held it desperately as your ship left the dock.
I can't forget, I won't forgive this sea
for the endless hurt it gave to me.
I want to stab, I want to kill this sea.
Took you away, took you away from me.
Silks from Singapore, a treasure from Tripoli for you. β
And from Suvla Bay, I've scars for souvenirs.
Love, your son was born. I wish you could see. β
Eyes the same as yours and cries just like me.
I can't forget, I won't forgive this sea
for the endless hurt it gave to me.
I want to stab, I want to kill this sea.
Took you away, took you away from me.
Years have passed. How many, I don't know anymore. β
Lost adrift at sea, a storm comes. It's getting cold.
I stand on the moors searching a sea of blue β
And forever more, I'll wait here for you.
