Oh, cruel storm |
|
Cruel sailor, cruel land |
|
They take what they'd sooner sell |
|
To some foreign land |
|
From my highest tower |
|
I see just how he stands and sways |
|
Whispered my lie |
|
There is a happy land |
|
For the weary maid |
|
Oh, splendid lady |
|
Steals time with your heels |
|
I watched your eyes fill with delights |
|
As your hounds take the wild fox down |
|
You're wicked, ugly |
|
[?] placed at your side |
|
The black thorns might be smarter |
|
But then they might be free |
|
Like darkness once more |
|
Like my sailor's home again |
|
With a vaguely cruel or kind |
|
As light bleeds from the sky |
|
I watch your heart die |
|
Cry moonbeams with my time |
|
Pass, true loves, by once more |
|
And it will be splendid |
