The Sailor

Our nameless sailor, she charts her course Like the captain of a merchant ship And she finds the wind is never in her favor So she trades her sail for a pair of oars But they are too large for her hands to grip And her vessel now is filling up with water Clinging to the only thing she ever knew She gives her body to the dark and frigid blue After years of struggle, she finds the shore Only to ask herself, "What is this that I've been looking for?" Now her prince finds her tired body among the reeds At the sight of him, she forgets her fears And joining hands, they walk down to his harbor He asks, "Are you the sailor from my dreams?" She says, "No, I haven't sailed for years" And she thinks maybe he hasn't much to offer Looking out upon the vast and open sea The prince asks only for the honor of her company "Sail the world with me," she hears him say "I won't go with you, prince, and besides, I'm more a swimmer, anyway" Our nameless sailor is now alone again With every bronze and weary captain she meets She thinks, "Well maybe he could be your lover" The daylight fades as they tell her one-by-one "I know that it's my heart you seek I'm sorry dear, but it belongs to another" Looking out upon the vast and open sea She says to herself, "This world has never been right for me" She waves goodbye to the dream upon which she stood And gives her body to the ocean, but this time it's for good
