I idled so far my rigging froze
 Long night, green ligh above and below
 
 I will not stop sailing though ever in mind
 The words of my lover who died in his time
 
 Sailing, sailing slow
 Across a still ocean
 Dark and cold
 
 Sailing, sailing slow
 To rest in the ice of a passing floe
 
 At peace from drowning
 Far out he sings
 "What can forever but misery bring"
 
 Sailing, sailing slow
 Across a still ocean
 Dark and cold
 
 Sailing, sailing slow
 To rest in the ice of a passing floe
 
 Come closer
 Come closer
 
 No wonder waning, still on I wend
 A thousand years trailing forgotten friends
 
 All calling, all calling, reply, reply
 Faint light in the water
 Faint light in the sky
 
 Come closer
 Come closer
