Send some friendboats made from wood bones
For all that I have known has rowed away from this coast
And carve me a mask from the safety of their decks
And make me a dress from their masts
For I have never known such missing of that breaking water
No, I have never known such missing of that breaking water
No, I have never known
Such missing of that breaking water
So when I go
Please, when I am gone
When I go
Please, when I am gone
Then, burn me with their bows
And toss some saving golden ropes to
Let us set anchor so far away from this coast
Then close off this darkness with curtains of sails
And cast it forever into the chests of the whales
For I have never known such missing of that breaking water
No, I have never known such missing of that breaking water
No, I have never known
Such missing of that breaking water
So when I go
Please, when I am gone
When I go
Please, when I am gone
Then, burn me with their bows
