Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving to your isle
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
Come back tomorrow
O my heart, O my heart shies from the sorrow
I am puzzled as the newborn child
I am riddled as the tide:
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Should I lie with Death my bride?
Swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you
Here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you.
