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 here when I was full sail? Now my foolish boat is leaving Broken lovelorn on your rocks For you sing: Touch me not, touch me not Come back tomorrow O my heart, o my heart shies from the sorrow And now I am puzzled as the newborn child And I am 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
