lyrics

From a thousand miles away, my love, I heard you calling.
You were from another world, and yet you heard my call.
I danced for you; I sang for you; and yet you did not see me
Riding in the starry skies above my sea-green hall.

When we are joined at last, my love, our joy will be eternal.
Our marriage bed will be a ship with sails of phosphorescent silk.
The stars will sing; the waves will rise; and we will be together
Ruling sea and stars and sky in harmony, forever.

How much longer must we wait, my love, before that moment?
You turn your face away from me into the clouds above.
How long must I dream of the sky before you call me homewards
And we are both immersed in the sweet turbulence of love?

My coral throne and starfish crown will drift into the darkness
Of the sea-bed, far below, where seaweed forests sway.
I’ll rise no more to see the skies or dance upon the surface
But languid, in the inky depths, forever, I will stay.
