[Brian Poole singing]
"I went to see the sign"
The sailor and the sailor said
"Do not forget my face
My friend, for if you do, I'm dead"

"Well, I don't see how that
Could be," I said to him as well
As picking off a piece
Of paper stuck to my lapel

[Brian Poole speaking]
The sailor fell upon his knees
And then he fell beside
The cedar chest that he had carved
And then I think he died
"Well, this was curious," I thought
And so I wandered in
And saw that there was something written
On his wrinkled skin

[The Singing Resident]
I thought the thoughts of little children
And the thoughts of men
I thought the thoughts of stupid people
Who have never been
So much in love as they should be
And got confused too easily
To fall in love again
[Brian Poole]
To fall in love again
To fall in love again
To fall in love again
To fall in love again

[The Singing Resident]
And so I say goodbye to you
And hope that maybe someday soon
We will meet again up there
For friends are fair and death is, too
