Been here for so long
On the morrow I'll dare
Silent and distant
Reaching out, unaware
Stealing the whispers
From my deepest request

And you watch me
Waiting for something new
My hands as empty
As my body and soul
Could keep pretending
But in the heart I'd be gone

Still stare at my face, but lost seem your eyes
Keep hold of the sails against the blue sky

Oh, I'm intending
A way back to the sea
This emptiness burns inside and
Leads on for endless miles

Don't let me go (don't let me go)
Away across the sea (don't let me go)
It may be much more wide
Than what it seems to be

Oh, I'm still searching
The way back to be freed
The loneliness hangs around us
However, we can't see

Now let me go (now let me go)
Away across the sea (now let me go)
The waves can't be as high
As they pretend to be

And now I know
In my heart, I won't forget
The sails against the blue sky
That taught me how to live

With no sorrow
And tomorrow we'll share
Silence and distance
'Till our faults are repaired
You'll be the mistress
Who I'll never forget
