If love was lost at sea then mourn its passing carefully Some day when your heart subsides Then give into the open tide I set you apart, you are a girl of mystery I set you apart from time and history Waiting all her life You have been spending your days all alone Like a widow grieving You hold onto the promise that you will see him again Like lovers in the evening Look softly into her eyes, a figure of bluish green You are familiar as a lullaby Or an actress on the silver screen For the open and great unknown You're leaving your heart at home Cruel and vast black waters You leave behind your daughters He regrets all his memories And his soul is left to haunt the breeze alone
