lyrics

Man Overboard

I can´t stop the rain from falling down
and I can´t save anything from harm.
I know my love on that cold ground
the sea in uproar
how can I stay calm?

I´m sailing on, alone in despair.
The wind licks my salty face and hair.
All salt of seas in cries I´ve bound,
I´m sailing on, my man on the ground.

We were at sea, we were at speed,
our little boat on foaming waters,
as suddenly he threw himself over the railing,
as if nothing matters.

I´m sailing on alone in despair.
The wind licks my salty face and hair.
All salt of seas in cries I´ve bound,
I´m sailing on, my man on the ground.

For 90 days and 90 nights
I searched for him,
And did not find him.
Without his lead my ship was lost,
And as my pain climbed to the max
I closed my hands around that wheel
and hoisted the black mourning sail.

I´m sailing on alone in despair.
The wind licks my salty face and hair.
All salt of seas in cries I´ve bound,
I´m sailing on, my man on the ground.
