Silvia, Silvia, Silvia,

I met you in the belly of a whale

Silvia, Silvia, Silvia

Oh, where did you fail?

Time passes slowly in the daylight

But I do not want to die

I met you in the belly of a wicked rhyme

And I read all your letters I could find

And the water is your friend

The water is your friend

And down and down and down you go

Gonna buy you a red dress,

And put feathers in your hair

And resurrect the finer things

I lost when you disappeared

Breaking on the daylight

They put flowers round your grave

And I sang a silly song for you

Hey hey hey hey hey

Silvia, Silvia

Silvia, Silvia, Silvia

I met you in the belly of a whale

Silvia, Silvia, Silvia,

Oh, where did you fail?

And the water is your friend

The water is your friend

And down and down and down you go

Gonna buy you a red dress

And put feathers in your hair

And resurrect the finer things

I lost when you disappeared

Breaking on the daylight

They put flowers round your grave

And I sang a silly song for you

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Silvia, Silvia
