|
On the floating, shipless, oceans |
|
I did all my best to smile |
|
til your singing eyes and fingers |
|
drew me loving into your eyes. |
|
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 sang "Touch me not, touch me not, |
|
Come back tomorrow." |
|
Oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow. |
|
I'm as puzzled as a newborn child. |
|
I'm as riddled as the tide. |
|
Should I stand amid the breakers? |
|
Or shall I lie with death my bride? |
|
Here me sing: "Swim to me, swim to me, |
|
Let me enfold you." |
|
Here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you |
