Long afloat on ship-less 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 enfold you
Here I am, here I am
Waiting to hold you
Did I dream you dreamed about me ?
Were you here when I was flotsam ?
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 oyster
I am troubled as the tide
Should I stand amid your 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”.
