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 she 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 living was openly bent   All they had was each other      He brought her flowers   A flash 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   The children she liked to invent for the life they were living 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 she 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 living was openly bent   All she had was herself
