White boats have bled and songs lie

The corpses of my sisters tried to warn me

That no oil slick is a sanctuary

Lured by the land, I still dived in deny.

Fool I am to have your help sought

You could have killed me by mercy

But you smiled and I felt dizzy

While the sun burnt in the coal drought

Only you did not know what to do

You were not special, just one more

Simple passer-by on the sad crowded shore

I did not forgive the world when I met you

From where you stood it was easy to ignore my pleas

It was a month ago, it was only yesterday

Now I shall remember any day

How I did to fly above the dying seas
