The Charles C. Leary

Devendra Banhart

I lost the gloves that my mother gave to me

While on my ways through the make believe sea

And I lost the rings that my lover gave to me

While on my ways to the red salt sea

And I lost my ways of my happy pen pal

And ended up where I still can't say but

I lost my favorite pen on the way

And I lost my friend but that couldn't be

I lost the friend who sang with me

I lost my son but that couldn't be

I lost the son who sat on my knees

And I lost my man but that couldn't be

I lost the one who I let inside me

And I lost my friend that my love

And I shared

While on my ways to the make-believe fair

And I lost the tunes that stuck to my ears

While on my ways to the make believe hears

And I saw Seppin as she sang to the sea

The only person left on the island was me

And I love the man who took care of me

He owns the ship, the Charles C. Leary

Yes, I love the man who took care of me

He sails the world on the Charles C. Leary
