They used to call me the Maryland 
I was born in this harbour 
My destiny was to sail the ocean 
They used to call me the Maryland 
I went I was the pride of the sailors 
I went on the other side of the water 
See the faraway land 

Today no one remembers my name 
I'm a wreck in a corner 
You'll find me on my own 
Counting the boats leaving the harbour 

They all leave day after day 
With screaming seagulls around them 
They're leaving day after day 
Then disappear on the horizon 

Sometimes at night a mermaids come to whisper 
You'll never be able to sail again 

They all leave day after day 
With screaming seagulls around them 
They're leaving day after day 
Then disappear on the horizon
