Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving to your isle
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 dreamed about me?
Were you hare when I was fox?
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks
For you sing:
"Touch me not, touch me not
Come back tomorrow
Oh my heart, oh my heart
Shies from the sorrow"
I am puzzled as the newborn child
I am troubled at the tide
Should I stand amid the breakers?
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" ...
