Lyrics
Find another songLong 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?
And now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks,
For you sing
"Touch me not,
touch me not,
come back tomorrow"
O my heart,
O my heart
Shatters from the sorrow"
I'm as puzzled as the newborn child
I'm as troubled as the tide
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Or should I lie with death my bride?
Oh, Hear me sing:
Swim to me,
Swim to me,
Let me enfold you
Here I am, Here I am, Waiting to hold you"
