Lyrics:
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 as the tide
Should I stand amid your breakers?
Or should I lie 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'
