I'm Dreaming of a White Sailor Songtext
von The Residents

Sometimes I feel his face when I′m fast asleep
I know that I am dreaming, but the touch is soft and sweet
I went to see the silent sailor and the sailor said
"Do not forget my face, my friend, for if you do I'm dead"
"Well, I don′t see how that could be," I said to him as well
As peeling off a piece of paper stuck to my lapel
The sailor fell upon his knees, then he fell beside
The secret chest that he had carved, then I think he died
"Well, this was curious," I thought, so I wandered in
And saw that there was something written on his wrinkled skin
Well, I thought the thoughts of little
Children and the thoughts of men I thought the thoughts of stupid people who have never been
So much in love that they should bleed and got confused too easily
To fall in love again (To fall in love again)
And so I say goodbye to you and hope that maybe someday soon
We will meet again up there for death is fair and friends are few
Friends are few, friends are few, friends are few
Friends are few, friends are few, friends are few
Friends are few, friends are few, friends are few
Friends are few, friends are few, friends are few
Friends are few, friends are few, friends are few
Friends are few, friends are few, friends are few
