The Lyrics

This story is about love
The following story will be about the theme of love.

The woman I loved is dead
The singer's beloved woman has passed away.

There was a boy
The story begins with the character introduction of a boy.

A very strange enchanted boy
This boy is described as peculiar and seemingly possessing magical powers.

They say he wandered very far
It is rumored that this boy has traveled extensively, both by land and sea.

Very far over land and sea
This boy has journeyed a great deal over vast distances, spanning across both land and sea.

A little child and sailed about
Despite being described as a young child, this boy has sailed across bodies of water.

But very wise, was he
Despite his youth, the boy is also characterized as possessing great wisdom.

And then one day, one magic day he passed my way
One particular day that stood out, the boy crossed paths with the artist.

While we spoke of many things fools and kings, this he said to me
During their conversation, the artist and the boy discussed various topics, ranging from the foolish to the royal. The boy then imparted some wisdom to the artist.

The greatest thing, you'll ever learn
According to the boy, the most important lesson one can learn is...

Is just to love, and be loved in return
...that love is the most significant and fulfilling aspect of life, to both give and receive.
