Lyrics

[00:16.40] He was a sailor
[00:18.15] A sailor at sea and a sailor of love
[00:19.86] And he thought he could save her
[00:22.30] Save her from innocence up and above
[00:24.06] 'cause he never knew freedom and under the duvet
[00:26.05] He stayed for a lifetime without any government
[00:28.37] Help or assistance
[00:29.36] She was a widow
[00:32.99] She never left home before seven a.m.
[00:35.80] And she looked by the window
[00:38.11] She managed to cry but she never felt blame
[00:40.05] For the death of her husband who died in a flame by the house of the river
[00:43.54] Although he remained
[00:44.11] In a reasonable distance
[00:48.80] All the children played around the neighborhood
[00:56.92] All the children played around the neighborhood
[01:02.73] The children she liked to invent for the life they were living was openly bent
[01:05.67] All they had was each other
[01:06.99] He brought her flowers
[01:12.23] A flesh in the pan as she didn't reply
[01:14.11] And he waited for hours
[01:16.17] Until she accepted to offer a smile
[01:17.74] And a terrible whiskey she had for a while
[01:20.18] That she'd sip every morning for breakfast and sigh
[01:22.05] Since the month of December
[01:23.17]
[01:26.40] They used to tango
[01:28.28] Jump and parade until midnight or more
[01:29.71] She convinced him to Fargo
[01:32.34] Drink lemonade with some awkward liquor
[01:33.91] The she kissed him goodbye and attended the shore
[01:36.09] Where she lit a big fire like never before
[01:38.15] By the house of the river
[01:42.91] All the children played around the neighborhood
[01:47.71]
[01:50.96] All the children played around the neighborhood
[01:59.02] All the children played around the neighborhood
[02:07.02] All the children played around the neighborhood
[02:12.87] The children she liked to invent for the life they were living was openly bent
[02:15.92] All they had was each other
[02:36.69] She was a widow' again
[02:38.31] She never left home before seven a.m.
[02:40.06] And she looked by the window
[02:42.25] She managed to cry but she never felt blame
[02:44.37] For the death of her husband who died in a flame by the house of the river
[02:47.86] Although he remained
[02:48.42] In a reasonable distance
[02:52.99] All the children played around the neighborhood
[03:00.99] All the children played around the neighborhood
[03:08.99] All the children played around the neighborhood
[03:16.99] All the children played around the neighborhood
[03:22.88] The children she liked to invent for the life they living were was openly bent
[03:25.79] All she had was herself
