i sailed a wild wild sea, climbed up a tall tall mountain,
i met an old old man beneath a weeping willow tree,
he said now if you got some questions, go and lay them at my feet, but my time here is brief, so youll have to pick just three
and i said 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 sappling tree,
he said now if you got some questions, go and lay them at my feet, but my time here is brief, so youll have to pick just three
and i said 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 played for me this song
