Someone come and set me free

I've been here eternally

Singing to an endless sea

Sad and lovely birds are we



Sorry for the ones before

All those bones along my shore

Ghostly ships from days of yore

Strewn along the ocean floor



oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo, oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo, oo, oo oo

oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo, oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo, ooo



Sailor from the golden past

Heard my song as he sailed past

Tied himself unto the mast

Tangled in the spell we cast



Heroes, mendicants, and kings

Fold them in my downy wings

Whisper all my secret things

I am just a bird who sings



oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo, oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo, oo, oo oo

oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo, oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo, ooo



Someone come and set me free

I am not an oddity

Someone see the bird in me

Mariner come set me free
