Slipping away across the sea,
I drift alone and wondering.
My soul's been pulled away from me,
Cold is my heart asunder. Sing
For me, my love, a song unheard
Though you may be too far away.
My ears will hang on every word
Though dark clouds loom, heavy and grey.
Would that I were an eagle fair,
My call you'd hear so clearly ring.
But sadly storms I cannot bear
With feathers plucked and broken wing.
Long nights I've spent deprived of sleep,
My only vice: this paper and pen.
Lines untouched delve into the deep
And tell me my plight will never end.
The morning pale does welcome me
With mist and waves awakening.
New hopes spark and fear is set free
from a heart by sadness shaken. Bring
Me back home to the love I've lost
To weeks uncounted, sailing far.
Waters uncharted I have crossed
With thoughts of you as my guiding star.
I know, my dear, you'll wait for me
For love's forever bound between.
A man complete I'll ever be
When your fair face my eyes have seen.

Slipping away across the sea,
I drift alone and wondering.
My soul's been pulled away from me,
Cold is my heart asunder. Sing
For me, my love, a song unheard
Though you may be too far away.
My ears will hang on every word
Though dark clouds loom, heavy and grey.
Would that I were an eagle fair,
My call you'd hear so clearly ring.
But sadly storms I cannot bear
With feathers plucked and broken wing.
Long nights I've spent deprived of sleep,
My only vice: this paper and pen.
Lines untouched delve into the deep
And tell me my plight will never end.
The morning pale does welcome me
With mist and waves awakening.
New hopes spark and fear is set free
from a heart by sadness shaken. Bring
Me back home to the love I've lost
To weeks uncounted, sailing far.
Waters uncharted I have crossed
With thoughts of you as my guiding star.
I know, my dear, you'll wait for me
For love's forever bound between.
A man complete I'll ever be
When your fair face my eyes have seen.
