He was a sailor, a sailor at sea and a sailor of love   And he thought he could save her   Save her from innocence up and above 'cause he never knew   Freedom and under the duvet, he stayed for a lifetime   Without any government, help or assistance      She was a widow, she never left home before seven a.m.   And she looked by the window, she managed to cry   But you never felt blame for the death of her husband   Who died in a flame by the house of the river   Although he remained in a reasonable distance      All the children played around the neighborhood   All the children played around the neighborhood   The children she liked to invent for the life they were livin'   Was openly bent, all they had was each other      He brought her flowers, a flesh in the pan as she didn't reply   And he waited for hours, until she accepted to offer a smile   And a terrible whiskey she had for a while   That she'd sip every morning for breakfast and sigh   Since the month of December      They used to tango, jump and parade until midnight or more   She convinced him to Fargo, drink lemonade with some awkward liquor   The she kissed him, "Goodbye", and attended the shore   Where she lit a big fire like never before by the house of the river      All the children played around the neighborhood   All the children played around the neighborhood   All the children played around the neighborhood   All the children played around the neighborhood   The children she liked to invent for the life they were livin'   Was openly bent, all they had was each other      She was a widow, again, she never left home before seven a.m.   And she looked by the window, she managed to cry   But you never felt blame for the death of her husband   Who died in a flame by the house of the river   Although he remained in a reasonable distance      All the children played around the neighborhood   All the children played around the neighborhood   All the children played around the neighborhood   All the children played around the neighborhood   The children she liked to invent for the life she was livin'   Was openly bent, all she had was herself
