The Sailor Song Songtext
von The Residents

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 picking off a piece of paper stuck to my lapel
The sailor fell upon his knees and then he fell beside
The cedar chest that he had carved and then I think he died
Well this was curious I thought and so I wandered in And saw that there was something written on his wrinkled skin
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 as they should be 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 friends are fair and death is too
