And you sang
And you sang
Broken lovelorn on your rocks
Broken lovelorn on your rocks
Come back tomorrow
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Drew me loving to your isle
Drew me loving to your isle
For you sing
Hear me sing
Here I am, here I am
Here I am, here I am
Here I am, here I am
I did all my best to smile
I did all my best to smile
I'm as riddled as the tide
I'm as riddled as the tide
Let me enfold you
Let me enfold you
Let me enfold you
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Oh my heart
Oh my heart
Oh my heart shies from the sorrow
Oh my heart shies from the sorrow
On the floating, shipless oceans
Or should I lie with death my bride?
Or should I lie with death my bride?
Sail to me, sail to me
Sail to me, sail to me
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Swim to me, swim to me
Swim to me, swim to me
Touch me not, touch me not
Touch me not, touch me not
Waiting to hold you
Waiting to hold you
Waiting to hold you
Well I'm as puzzled as the newborn child
Well I'm as puzzled as the newborn child
Were you here when I was full sail?
Were you here when I was full sail?
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
