The ocean was calm
I knew he’d understand
the wind had died down
as you let go of my hand
My ship couldn’t sail
it was tied to the pier
all my absent fears
were suddenly here
August was mine
then September came
and threw every promise away
She made me cry
everything was upside down
sweet autumn leaves
now they just made me frown
She made me break my blue ribbon
The crisis had come
I turned to the sea
and nobody recognized me
I thought I saw hope
the embarkation was near
the boatman he smiled
somehow I had no fear
The water was warm
the journey had begun
I closed my eyes
and sailed to the sun
