I wish you comfort, wish you joy, St. Lawrence
like any other boy
may you be tranquilized and calm, St. Lawrence
no one will do you harm
hypersensitive as you are, St. Lawrence
no one would go so far
different from the norm, St. Lawrence
yet in a uniform
no one was ever born
like you
and how they tortured you, St. Lawrence
and the torture is not yet through
you're not the man you were before, St. Lawrence
since they kicked you out that door
I hear the engine roar for you
how beautiful you are, how beautiful you are
my sleeping star
sail away, sail away, sail away, St. Lawrence
I'll be your mate today
may you be tranquilized and calm, St. Lawrence
no one will do you harm
recover in my arms for now
how beautiful you are, how beautiful you are
my sleeping star
