Bring me a smile, for I have none to spare My wine-hearted maid of the sea stole them from me And I will never go looking nor pining for her As she looks for her skin in the eaves.
From sunlight through water we did weave her hair 'Til it shone with the gold of old stars But I'd give you the honey of my lilit-daughter words Had she not stole it from me with her eyes:
The dark in your heart and the dark of the sky Met to dance in the storms of those eyes Let me, oh, let me, just let me, I plead Lose myself forevermore in their rains!
She's the grace of the undine and undulating waves that crash round and chill you to the bone--
Would my love chill her bones, would she care, Would she care, my wine-hearted maid of the sea?
