lyrics

Let me know, why the first man's gone
that once felt so alone.
Let me know autumn, spring and rice
that made me feel so alone.

The sailor's wife knows her purity,
love that she could give and get.
A lovely whore on a steaming ship,
in a dreary cage with parrots.

Let me know, why the first man's gone
that once died as a soldier.
Let me know the hot summer times
that made me feel so good.

The sailor's wife knows her purity,
love that she could give and get.
A bucket of water, a cod inside,
a little ocean on a ship.

Go your way!

Cold-blooded symphony --
Every sailor has his own coin box,
Coke's not for free --
Every sailor always needs the wind,
her purity, to be loved to be king at all.
Her purity, to be loved to be king at all.

To be loved to be king at all.
To be loved to be king at all.
To be loved to be king at all.
