I idled so far my rigging froze
Long night, green light 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 flow
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 flow
Come closer
Come closer
No wonder waning, still on I went
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
