Sailor Song (Moitessier)

[Verse 1] Loneliness oh won't you let me be Let me be and I will set you free Don't you think if it was up to me I would choose to be happy [Verse 2] Let me go, say my goodbyes There's no glory for me at the starting line I was on my own in a search for the golden life [Verse 3] Oh I was leaving for the East horizon And Joshua was on sea of diamonds I left my home, it was not wrong for me to leave I could not hold all of your promises to keep [Verse 4] And I was on my own in a broken boat, I cried And what I'd give to know, is it me who's on your mind? I left my love, it was not wrong for me to do The slingshot fired it moved my words from me to you [Verse 5] So I'd been their Lord and Savior They loved their trophies, but they hate the labor The loneliest that I ever get Is when I lose her voice inside the wind
