"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 unfold 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?
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

I am puzzled as the newborn child
Im as troubled 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."
