I sailed a midnight ocean
To lands both near and far
But could not find a single thing
As lovely as you are...
I found the sweetest red rose
And placed it by your side
But shadowed by your beauty
The rose just withered up and ...died
So i travelled to the east
For riches golden ...and refined
But none of them could sway me
Or indeed could change my mind
further still... i travelled
And braved the fiercest storm..
The cold winds wrapped around me
Your vision kept me warm...
I sailed a midnight ocean
To beyond the furthest star...
But knew theres not a single thing
As lovely as you are .
I wrote this for a girlfriend a few years back , i think she was my first real love ...but unfortunately i was the only one in love :(
