|
Long afloat, (on) shipless oceans |
|
I did all my best to smile |
|
til your singing eyes and fingers |
|
drew me loving to your aisle |
|
And you sang, |
|
"sail to me. |
|
Sail to me, let me enfold you. |
|
Here I am, here I am |
|
waiting to hold you." |
|
Did I dream, you dreamt about me? |
|
Were you hare, when I was fox? |
|
Now my foolish boat is leaning, |
|
broken lovelorn on you rocks |
|
For you sing, "touch me not |
|
touch me not, come back tomorrow. |
|
Oh my heart, oh my heart |
|
shies from the sorrow." |
|
I'm as puzzled as the newborn child |
|
I'm as riddled as the tide |
|
Should I stand amid the breakers, |
|
or should I lie with death my bride? |
|
Hear me sing, "swim to me. |
|
Swim to me, |
|
let me enfold you. |
|
Here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you." |
