Sweet fate that spins life's thread is growing older Your sallow skin now she desires to hew The sun sets seawards within good times olden Who stole your precious dream away from you Who stole your precious dream away from you Storm shears the waters like an ocean steamer Defying the gale you set sails to break through Your grip is squeezing tight the jarring tiller Who stole your precious dream away from you Who stole your precious dream away from you Clouds form unhollowed faces The sob of waves sounds akin to your cries Winds strew what hope embraces Till new dawn lights up the eastern skies And ease the pain within your soul For there's no route to the dream that's taken So far away from you Murk sketched the nightin charcoal black and umber Your wish for death has never been so true Here only waves will break upon your slumber Who stole your precious dream away from you Who stole your precious dream away from you Clouds form unhallowed faces The sob of waves sounds akin to your cries Winds strew what hope embraces Till new dawn lights up the eastern skies And ease the pain within your soul For there's no route to the dream that's taken So far away from you
