Long afloat on shipless oceans
|
I did all my best to smile
|
til your singing eyes and fingers
|
drew me loving into 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 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."
