First Aid Kit - Sailor Song Lyrics






With the first light and the little fragile moon
I was out on the porch now I'm ready for doom
And it's funny how it all came to be
The way you so plainly chose to stare at me

And the afternoon embraces you like a million worried hands
And I want to look forward go discover foreign land
In the mirror I was balancing on tiny strings
It looks silly but oh really it's just a physical thing

So tell me why you'd ask me to do as I please
I would rather fall backwards and forget everything
And I've tried to call on you when I know you're not home
I'm not ready for this but it's the way it goes

It was easier when I knew nothing of what I'd missed
You're so happy I can see it and that's the worst part of it
So let her take you out on sea
I will wave to you from the harbor oh little silly me

The sailors leave in the morning
I'll be waiting for you all night
The ship sets off in the morning
I'll be waiting for you all right

    First Aid Kit is grade A. I woke up this morning and wanted to hear this song. I didn't have to search for an official video version of this song, whereas with other bands if you listen to anything by them that's filmed live it might ruin everything you thought you loved about them. First Aid Kit sounds great in every video, every time. Just one more reason these girls are amazing.

  29. N.... ....

    @seahag1967 It's swedish :-)

  30. X.... G....

    So nice.

  31. M.... ....

    The music? Amazing. Their talent? Amazing. But what's truly amazing is how they can just sit there and play their instruments, sing their song, and not even tap a foot. I can't even sit still when I listen to this song, I get up and dance and they just sit there like, ya, we made another awesome song. So what?

  32. K.... B....

    its an autoharp! supper fun and sooo easy to play!

  33. K.... L....
