En El Muelle De San Blas

She said goodbye to her love
He left on a boat at the San Blas dock
He swore he would return
And soaked in tears, she swore she would wait
Thousands of moons passed
And she was always at the dock
Waiting
Many afternoons nested
They nested in her hair
And on her lips

She wore the same dress
And just in case he came back, she wouldn’t be mistaken
The crabs bit her
Her clothing, her sadness, and her hope
But time slipped away
And her eyes filled with sunrises
And she fell in love with the sea
And her body became rooted
At the dock

Alone
Alone in oblivion
Alone
Alone with her spirit
Alone
Alone with her love, the sea
Alone
At the San Blas dock

Her hair turned white
But no boat ever brought her love back
And in town, they called her
They called her the crazy lady of the San Blas dock
One April afternoon
They tried to take her to the asylum
No one could tear her away
And the sea never separated her

Alone
Alone in oblivion
Alone
Alone with her spirit
Alone
Alone with her love, the sea
Alone
At the San Blas dock

Alone in oblivion
Alone with her spirit
Alone with her love, the sea

Alone
Alone in oblivion
Alone
Alone with her spirit
Alone
Alone with her love, the sea
Alone
At the San Blas dock

She stayed
She stayed
Alone, alone
She stayed
She stayed
With the sun and the sea
She stayed there
She stayed until the end
She stayed there
She stayed at the San Blas dock

Alone, alone, alone
