Now as the early light is catching the folds 
Black lace and satin wrapped, wrapped up against her face 
She turns her frozen steps that break the frost and cold 
Beyond the misty bay, still sleeping to the east 

"Too many miles", she hears the seabirds call 
Her captain's ship, she waits for wind and sail 

Below the breaking point the tide will ebb and fall 
The storm is silent now, as silent as the dawn 
Above the rocks and cliffs she watches all the while 
She waits for distant sails that never will return 

"Too many miles", she hears the seabirds call 
Her captain's ship, she waits for wind and sail 
Below the breaking point the tide will ebb and fall 
The storm is silent now, as silent as the dawn 

"Too many miles", she hears the seabirds call 
Her captain's ship, she waits for wind and sail
