I was a sailor
You were an island in my sights
A tempest tore a line in the water
And I crossed to the other side
I saw you dancing
You didn't see me in my boat
The rings upon your fingers
Oh, how they would jangle on the shore
I had to have you
I had to place you in my cage
But a fire will not burn in a bottle
And be saved for another day
I started sinking
Where the water meets the sand
I can't stay here forever
Why can't you understand
