lyrics

long afloat on shipless ocean
I did all my best to smile
tip your singing eyes and fingers
bring me loving to your isle
and you sang,
"sail to me, sail to me, let me unfold you,
here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you."

did I dream you dreamed about me?
were you here when I was forced out?
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."
