from the stern to the bow
oh my boat is empty
yes, my heart is empty

from the hole to the how

from the rudder to the sail

oh, my boat is empty
yes, my hand is empty
from the wrist to the nail


from the ocean to the bay
oh, the sand is clean

oh, my mind is clean
from the night to the day


from the stern to the bow
oh, my boat is empty
oh, my head is empty

from the neck to the brow

from the east to the west

oh, the stream is long
yes, my dream is wrong
from the birth to the death


from the east to the west
oh, the stream is long

yes, my dream is wrong
from the birth to the death
