Verse 2
Gotye: Dropped anchor near a shore
A land of gold and silver, and strange alluring whores
New and unknown things
A carnival existence. A freedom fit for kings
But heavy is my head
Your eyes a thousand miles away and me not in your bed
Chorus
Both: Oh my love, satisfaction waits, I'm following my fate
Oh, so true, my harshest sacrifice is sailing far from you

Verse 3
Both: Now sunlight hits the sea
My course is set, the winds are strong and luck is here with me
You see I've worked for this my life
But sadness plagues the sailor
Always leaving love behind
