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
Oh, my heart
Oh, my heart
It shies from the sorrow
I’m as puzzled as the oyster
I’m troubled as the tide
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Should I lie with death my bride?
Hear me sing
Swim to me
Swim to me
Let me enfold you
Oh, my heart
Oh, my heart
Waiting to hold--
Oh, my heart
Oh, my heart
Waiting to hold you
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
Oh, my heart
Oh, my heart
It shies from the sorrow
I’m as puzzled as the oyster
I’m troubled as the tide
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Should I lie with death my bride?
Hear me sing
Swim to me
Swim to me
Let me enfold you
Oh, my heart
Oh, my heart
Waiting to hold--
Oh, my heart
Oh, my heart
Waiting to hold you
