Won't you tie me to the bow of your sweet vessel
'Cause all alone I'd surely drown
And I can barely tread above this darkness
Let me land on solid ground

'Cause I've been dreaming of horizons
I've been longing for a home
Darling, help me let the light in
Like the one I used to know

If you're the lantern shining in the midnight
I'm the wind that's at your door
And if the darkness swells up high between us
I will steer us back to shore

'Cause I've been dreaming of horizons
I've been longing for a home
Darling, help me let the light in
Like the one I used to know

And if we die, girl, then we'll die together
Another ship lost to the storm
An iron anchor no one will remember
Hand-in-hand for ever more
