Sailor Song (Moitessier) Letra - The Lumineers

Loneliness oh won't you let me be

Let me be and I will set you free

Don't you think if it was up to me

I would choose to be happy

Let me go, say my goodbyes

There's no glory for me at the starting line

I was on my own in a search for the golden life

Oh I was leaving for the East horizon

And Joshua was on sea of diamonds

I left my home, it was not wrong for me to leave

I could not hold all of your promises to keep

And I was on my own in a broken boat, I cried

And what I'd give to know, is it me who's on your mind?

I left my love, it was not wrong for me to do

The slingshot fired it moved my words from me to you

So I'd been their Lord and Savior

They loved their trophies, but they hate the labor

The loneliest that I ever get

Is when I lose her voice inside the wind
