Long afloat on shipless 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 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'm as puzzled as the oyster
I'm as troubled 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
