Farewell

Text

  • Farewell Song

  • Farewell my son,
  •  I hear the boatswain whistling, 
  • the time is up, no more sea bag packed,
  •  when he calls you, you can't back out anymore, 
  • just like I came, so I go; naked. 

  • Don't forget me, 
  • don't look for me in the crypts, 
  • I'm not going to windward, I drift away to leeward,
  •  riding with the wind high up in the skies, and whipping the wide wild sea in the storm. 


  • Oh beloved, I have to leave you now, the darkness calls and I board the ship, 
  • because even the image of me will soon fade away, but storm and wind will bring you my word.
  •  I set sail for distant star worlds and dive into a colorful light's splendor, sending you a trail of stars in dark skie
  •  as a spring breeze caresses you in dance. 

  • Also you comrades, wild mates, cast off your lines, 
  • I wish you good luck,

  •  I can no longer join you for a drink because from this journey here I won't return. 

  • So farewell then, I hear the boatswain whistling 
  • and there at the helm, that guy made of bone already on the yards the birds of death are screeching. 

  • I am the crew; I go all alone.
