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
