Drifting on the sleepy waves at sea, stretched on the canvas of destiny, I dream along the whispering shore of the times gone by that are no more.
A soft wind blows, the tears of time fall; and nothing is left, nothing at all. I cry upon the shoulders of rocks, my tears the water beneath the docks.
The ships set sail, like dust on the wind; and I watch them turn, around the bend. The deep blue dreams are empty of bliss as sleepless lids close to reminisce.
My heart climbs up invisible stairs, a star to the sky lit unawares; and the dream you dreamed so long ago is now a beacon of star-light glow.
Your hands reach up to touch through the air. I shine down upon you standing there. My sweet love! Is not the dark sky deep? My heart is yours forever to keep.
I wake on the morn beside the sea, the softness that changed my destiny; for the last I saw, you waved good-bye, your image reflected in her eye.
She consumed my love between her lips and swallowed the crew of many ships; and nothing hurts more than times like these, a thousand mouths buried in the seas.
Your heart climbs up invisible stairs, a star to the sky lit unawares; and the dream I dreamed so long ago is now a beacon of star-light glow.
