You were set to sail at sea so young, She was only 17 I'm told, This is not about assigning blame, But it was wrong when she left you, You were just a boy when she moved on, Though I'm told that you were better off, Still I wonder if you wanted to, Where did she go?

And people change their minds, And she was happy once, Like a mother keeps her children close enough to reach Like a mother keeps her children close enough to reach her hands.
