Long afloat on distant oceans
I did all my best to smile
Till 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
Now my foolish heart 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 new born child
I am riddled as the tide
Should I stand amid the breakers
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
