Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Orlando in love
Writes sixty-nine cantos
For melancholy brunettes and sad women
[Verse 2]
The breeze carries salt
And sipping milky broth
He cast his gaze towards the sea out the Winneabago
[Verse 3]
As if the sea had bore her to be
An ideal woman
She came to him from the water
Like Venus from a shell
Singing his name with all the sweetness of a mother
Leaving him breathless and then drowned
[Outro]
Orlando, Orlando
Orlando, Orlando
