Píseň: I Used To Be A Sailor
- Interpret:
- Tracy Chapman
- Album:
- Matters Of The Heart
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 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 Set me fere Set me free Set me free
