Original lyrics

EN
To cross the wide sea I deserted, From the shore I did fly. I thought it time that I travelled, So I took to the roads of the sky. It was late and the wind it did gently blow, Oh the night it was calm. I saw the flower of the ocean And the universe did me noo harm, It said to fly on. The sea captain he loved the ocean, But his ship was on fire. His hands they did stretch out before him, For to take one of many desires, But there was no time. Across the wide sea he departed, From the ship he did fly. He thought it time that he travelled And I saw him as he passed by, And I saw him as he passed by.
