Lyrics and translation
Original
When
I was young, I had a friend.
He brought the water to my land, and on that island we would play.
I thought that it would always stay that way.
At school, he'd say he did not know, but when the night came, see his boat come to our island, and we'd sleep in soothing silence under evening stars.
He had all the maps, but he never told me why.
Why I was a secret, and the only ones to see it were the morning stars.
Why I was a secret, and he would always leave me when the morning started.
It broke my heart.
You gave the girl all that she wants, or so you thought, but you were wrong. I knew there must be more than this.
I built my own boat and went fishing.
Sometimes I see you when I sail along the island.
There's your silhouette, your hands above your eyes.
You're still waiting for the stars to arrive, hoping it means I'll come back.
But you never told me why.
Why I was a secret, and the only ones to see it were the morning stars.
Why I was a secret, and he would always leave me when the morning started.
It broke my heart.
When I was young, I had a friend.
When I was young, I had a friend.
