Lyrics

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 here when I was full sail?
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
Well, 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
