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 here when I was forsaken? Now my foolish boat is leaning Leave me lovelorn on the rocks And you said: 'Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow O my heart, o my heart, shines from the sorrow' Well I'm puzzled as a newborn child I am riddled as the tide: Should I stand 'neath your breakers? Or should I lie in death my bride? And you said, 'Swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you: Here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you'
