Lyrics I Was a Sailor - Miike Snow

Sleeping my Saturdays, sleeping them away
Garden in a blaze, feel the sun's rays

Girl, you mistook me for someone else
Outside the walls
Still, I'll wait
For your call

I was a sailor and I sailed upon a dark sea
Yeah, I gave myself up to her so completely
I sank beneath the waves, I was buried in my grave
I had cast away my hope forevermore

I was a sailor in the service of the dark queen
And I promise you that one day I would come clean
If I leave the sea behind, will you meet me in the sky
And revolve around the sun forevermore?

Where's your gaze? Light through the haze
Lost in the maze, ooh, lord
Where's your gaze? Light through the haze
Lost in the maze, ooh, lord

Sitting up all alone, praying to my throne
Floor is icy cold, nothing warm to hold

Girl, you mistook me for someone else
Outside the walls
Still, I'll wait
For your call

I was a sailor and I sailed upon a dark sea
Yeah, I gave myself up to her so completely
I sank beneath the waves, I was buried in my grave
I had cast away my hope forevermore

I was a sailor in the service of the dark queen
And I promise you that one day I would come clean
If I leave the sea behind, will you meet me in the sky
And revolve around the sun forevermore?

Where's your gaze? Light through the haze
Lost in the maze, ooh, lord
Where's your gaze? Light through the haze
Lost in the maze, ooh, lord

Where's your gaze? Light through the haze
Lost in the maze, ooh, lord
Where's your gaze? Light through the haze
Lost in the maze, ooh, lord

Where's your gaze? Light through the haze
Lost in the maze, ooh, lord
Where's your gaze? Light through the haze
Lost in the maze, ooh, lord

Why you letting me go? Why you letting me go?
Why you letting me go? Why you letting me go?
