[00:09.28] When August winds are turning,
[00:14.84]
[00:18.09] The fishing boats set out upon the sea,
[00:23.26]
[00:26.70] I watch 'til they sail out of sight,
[00:30.44]
[00:31.06] The winter follows soon,
[00:33.87]
[00:35.74] I watch them drawn into the night,
[00:39.26]
[00:40.07] Beneath the August moon.
[00:42.89]
[00:45.13] No one knows I come here,
[00:51.31]
[00:54.18] Some things I don't share,
[00:59.37]
[01:02.86] I can't explain the reasons why,
[01:06.48]
[01:07.29] It moves me close to tears,
[01:10.15]
[01:11.96] Or something in the season's change,
[01:15.52]
[01:16.33] Will find me wandering here.
[01:19.14]
[01:21.07] And in my public moments,
[01:27.48]
[01:30.10] I hear the things I say but they're not me,
[01:35.15]
[01:38.96] Perhaps I'll know before I die,
[01:43.39] Admit that there's a reason why,
[01:46.89]
[01:47.82] I count the boats returning to the sea,
[01:53.26]
[01:57.19] I count the boats returning to the sea.
[02:02.42]
[02:12.48] And in my private moments,
[02:17.28]
[02:20.34] I drop the mask that I've been forced to wear,
[02:25.33]
[02:29.45] But no one knows this secret me,
[02:33.01]
[02:33.87] Where albeit unconsciously,
[02:37.56]
[02:38.43] I count the boats returning from the sea,
[02:43.55]
[02:47.61] I count the boats returning from the sea.
