I am a broken boat full of sorrow.
Floating on the sea, in the mist of May.
Soft! Do not awake the night in shadow.

Again, your capricious words I follow.
You are written in the song that I play.
I am a broken boat full of sorrow.

You are ephemeral but I move slow.
I watch our roses withering away.
Soft! Do not awake the night in shadow.

Here it comes, my lovely December snow.
The world is turning into an ashtray.
I am a broken boat full of sorrow.

Morning star hide, candles are burning low.
I'm here waiting, forever and a day.
Soft! Do not awake the night in shadow.

I am drenched in your tears, let sadness flow.
Sleepless tonight under moonlight, I pray.
I am a broken boat full of sorrow.
Soft! Do not awake the night in shadow.
