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 unfold you
Here I am, here I am
Waiting to hold you

Did I dream you dreamt about me
Were you hare when I was fox
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks

And you sing touch me not
Touch me not come back tomorrow
Oh my heart, oh my heart
Shys from the sorrow

I'm as puzzled as the oyster
I'm troubled as the tide
Should I stand amid the breakers
Or should I lay with death my bride

Hear me sing swim to me
Swim to me let me unfold you
Here I am here I am
Waiting to hold you
