There was a sailor always going around the world
He was lonely and sad and his head was going bald.
Just a sailor nothing more, one of the many on that ship
But his life turned around on a return from a trip.
In a harbour in a small town he met a little girl
From his stories she was captured as she'd never seen the world.
She was poor and blind of eyes but she really like the sailor
And the man came to learn how it feels like to be cared for.
One day he had to sail again but to come back he promised
But many months went by and when he was back she had perished.
Too poor and ill to survive alone as time went by
The sailor was saddened, he didn't have a chance to say goodbye.
She left a note for the sailor though, whenever he'd return
"I had no eyes but thanks to you I got to see the world".
A tear ran down the old man face as one thought crossed his mind
"The whole world I've seen aye, but thanks to you I have a smile".
