[Verse 1]
Oh January, keep a secret for me
Only Poseidon knows what I've seen
If you ask me, she was never there
Bela, how is it I carry you everywhere?
Everywhere

[Chorus]
Heavy hands, she moved slowly, steadily
Pale legs straddling the sea
Aboard a floating savior
What does language mean?
It was a proper Polish welcome
A proper Polish welcome

[Verse 2]
A shift of the table, a slip of the tongue
Silence and then a muffled "Oh my God"
I was the first to laugh, she followed suit
Rocking and holy, we came two by two
We came two by two

[Chorus]
Heavy hands, she moved slowly, steadily
Pale legs straddling the sea
Aboard a floating savior
What does country mean?
It was a proper Polish welcome
A proper Polish welcome
[Bridge]
I wish I was the sea
I wish I was the sea
She was straddling the sea
I wish I was the sea

[Chorus]
Heavy hands, she moved slowly, steadily
Pale legs straddling the sea
Aboard a floating savior
What does language mean?
It was a proper Polish welcome
A proper Polish welcome
