Lyrics:
Quote:
I sailed wild, wild sea,
Climbed up a tall, tall mountain,
Met an old, old man beneath a weeping willow tree.
He said, "Now if you've got some questions
Go and lay them at my feet,
But my time here is brief
So you'll have to pick just three." And I said..
"What, what, what do you do with the pieces of a broken heart?
And how can a man like me remain in the light?
And if life is really as short as they say,
then why is the night so long?"
And then the sun went down
And he sang for me this song:
"See I once was a young fool like you
Afraid to do the things that I knew I had to do.
So I played an escapade just like you
I played an escapade just like you
I sailed a wild, wild sea
Climbed up a tall, tall mountain
I met an old, old man
He sat beneath a sapling tree.
He said now if you got some questions
Go and lay them at my feet
But my time here is brief
So you'll have to pick just three." And I said...
"What, what, what do you do with the pieces of a broken heart?
And how can a man like me remain in the light?
And if life is really as short as they say,
then why is the night so long?"
And then the sun went down
And he sang for me this song..."

It took me a few listenings (and then a google for the lyrics) to get that he was saying "night". |
