Miike Snow
I Was a Sailor
[Verse 1]
Sleeping my Saturdays
Sleeping them away
Garden in a blaze
Feel the sun's rays

[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, you mistook me for someone else
Outside the walls
Still I’ll wait
For your call

[Chorus]
I was a sailor and I sailed upon a dark sea
Yeah, I gave myself up to her so completely
I sank beneath the waves and was buried in my grave
I had cast away my hope forevermore
I was a sailor in the service of the dark queen
And I promised you that one day I would come clean
If I leave the sea behind, will you meet me in the sky?
And revolve around the sun forevermore

[Post-Chorus]
Where's your gaze?
Light through the haze
Lost in the maze
Ooh, Lord
Where's your gaze?
Light through the haze
Lost in the maze
Ooh, Lord
[Verse 2]
Sitting up all alone
Praying to my throne
Floor is icy cold
Nothing warm to hold

[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, you mistook me for someone else
Outside the walls
Still I'll wait
For your call

[Chorus]
I was a sailor and I sailed upon a dark sea
Yeah, I gave myself up to her so completely
I sank beneath the waves and was buried in my grave
I had cast away my hope forevermore
I was a sailor in the service of the dark queen
And I promised you that one day I would come clean
If I leave the sea behind, will you meet me in the sky?
And revolve around the sun forevermore

[Post-Chorus]
Where's your gaze?
Light through the haze
Lost in the maze
Ooh, Lord
Where's your gaze?
Light through the haze
Lost in the maze
Ooh, Lord
Where's your gaze?
Light through the haze
Lost in the maze
Ooh, Lord
Where's your gaze?
Light through the haze
Lost in the maze
Ooh, Lord
Where's your gaze?
Light through the haze
Lost in the maze
Ooh, Lord
Where's your gaze?
Light through the haze
Lost in the maze
Ooh, Lord
[Outro]
Why you letting me go?
Why you letting me go?
Why you letting me go?
