The Lumineers - Sailor Song (Moitessier) lyrics

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'd I 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 Saviour They loved their trophies, but they hate the labor The loneliest that I ever get Is when I lose her voice inside the wind
