Long afloat on shipless 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 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:

O my heart, o my heart shies from the sorrow”

I am puzzled as the oyster

I am troubled by the tide:

Should I stand amidst the breakers?

Should I like 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”
