I idled so far my rigging froze
Long night, green ligh above and below
I will not stop sailing though ever in mind
The words of my lover who died in his time
Sailing, sailing slow
Across a still ocean
Dark and cold
Sailing, sailing slow
To rest in the ice of a passing floe
At peace from drowning
Far out he sings
"What can forever but misery bring"
Sailing, sailing slow
Across a still ocean
Dark and cold
Sailing, sailing slow
To rest in the ice of a passing floe
Come closer
Come closer
No wonder waning, still on I wend
A thousand years trailing forgotten friends
All calling, all calling, reply, reply
Faint light in the water
Faint light in the sky
Come closer
Come closer
Long night, green ligh above and below
I will not stop sailing though ever in mind
The words of my lover who died in his time
Sailing, sailing slow
Across a still ocean
Dark and cold
Sailing, sailing slow
To rest in the ice of a passing floe
At peace from drowning
Far out he sings
"What can forever but misery bring"
Sailing, sailing slow
Across a still ocean
Dark and cold
Sailing, sailing slow
To rest in the ice of a passing floe
Come closer
Come closer
No wonder waning, still on I wend
A thousand years trailing forgotten friends
All calling, all calling, reply, reply
Faint light in the water
Faint light in the sky
Come closer
Come closer
