She said goodbye to her love

He left on a boat at the San Blas pier

He swore that he would return

And soaked in tears she swore that she would wait

Thousands of moons went by

And she was always at the pier, waiting

Many afternoons nested

They nested in her hair

And on her lips

She wore the same dress

And so if he came back he wouldn't get it wrong

The crabs bit

Her clothing, her sadness, and her hope

And time slipped away

And her eyes filled with dawns

And she fell in love with the sea

And her body took root at the pier

Alone in oblivion

Alone with her spirit

Alone with her love, the sea

At the San Blas pier

Her hair turned white

But no ship brought her love back

And in town they told her

They called her the madwoman of the San Blas pier

And one April afternoon

They tried to move her to the asylum

Nobody could tear her away

And from the sea they never ever separated her

Alone alone in oblivion

Alone alone with her spirit

Alone alone with her love, the sea

Alone at the San Blas pier

Alone alone in oblivion

Alone alone with her spirit

Alone alone with her love, the sea

Alone alone

Alone alone in oblivion

Alone alone with her spirit

Alone alone with her love, the sea

Alone at the San Blas pier

She stayed, she stayed

Alone, alone

She stayed, she stayed

With the sun and with the sea

She stayed there, she stayed till the end

She stayed there, she stayed at the San Blas pier

Alone alone, she stayed
