Lyrics

^{Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh, uh-uh
She said goodbye to her love
He left on a boat at the San Blas dock
He swore he'd come back
And drenched in tears, she swore she'd wait
Thousands of moons passed
And always she stood on the dock, waiting
Many afternoons nested
They nested in her hair and on her lips
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh, uh-uh
She wore the same dress
And just in case he came back, he wouldn't be wrong
The crabs were biting him
Her clothes, her sadness and her illusion
And time slipped away
And her eyes were filled with sunrises
And she fell in love with the sea
And her body was rooted in the pier
Alone in oblivion
(Alone), alone with her spirit
(Alone), alone with her love for the sea
(Alone), on the pier of San Blas
Her hair bleached white
But no ship to her love returned to her
And in the town they called her
They called her the madwoman of the pier of San Blas
And one April afternoon
They tried to transfer her to the asylum
No one could tear her away
And from the sea they never ever separated her
Alone in oblivion
(Alone), alone with her spirit
(Alone), alone with her love for the sea
(Alone), on the pier of San Blas
alone in oblivion
(Alone), alone with her spirit
(Alone), alone with the sun and the sea
(Alone), Oh, alone!
Alone in oblivion
(Alone), alone with her spirit
(Alone), alone with her love the sea
(Alone), on the pier of San Blas
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
He stayed at the pier of San Blas
Uoh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Alone, alone she stayed
Uoh, oh-oh-oh}
