On an empty beach, where the sand is never asleep
The waves wrote and erased so many yesterdays
Barefoot and without a hat, for decades the Knight has been sat
Under a silent sky, with a Queen so salty and dry
Cradle me, oh restless sea
Dance with me the dance of the enemy
The pawns won't be sacrificed, but one good deed won't suffice
Rejoice the old memories, fresh milk and strawberries
He chased what has never been; he called someone whom he's never seen
In this game of chess White can never win
Cradle me, oh restless sea
Dance with me the dance of the enemy
Dance with me, oh restless sea
Cradle me to sleep in the arms of the enemy
