My only child, be not so blind
See what you hold
There are no words no ears no eyes
To show them what you know
Their hands are old
Their faces cold
Their bodies close to freezing
Their feelings find
Their morning small
Too small to fill their ways with breathing
Their evening tall
My only child remember well
The words that you are told
For some of them it is only easy to survive
Their hands are old
Their faces cold
Their bodies close to freezing
Their feelings find
Their morning small
Their evening tall
Man and wife are feasting the time
The time that lies behind
At home in sweetness and delight
Drinking the bitter wine
Their hands are old
Their faces cold
Their bodies close to freezing
Their feelings find
The morning small
The evening tall
I am the little knight
With the sky above my eyes
I cannot be frightened
I am the little knight
With the earth under my feet
I will come to visit you
I will come to visit you
Now you see that only dreams
Can send you where you want to be
Now you find those faces are not holding places
Where you thought they'd be
And later as you go again
You will agree
That it was all a dream
Sail away, sail away, my little boy
Let the wind fill your heart with light and joy
Sail away, my little boy
