You have stowed
your heart as soft as stone
In a sea of eiderdown
Now the blinds are drawn.
Return to me
Unhappy castaway
I lack the words to say
To draw you in.
Yes there is love
But it is only a feeling
A lonely feeling
When your heart is of stone
And tears in the dark
Soften nothing.
You stake the claim
All love is bound to wane
When days are all the same
There’s no way on.
I take your hand
As would a drowning man
Let’s start it all again
I say to you.
But you turn away
Unhappy castaway
No need for me to stay
there’s no way on.
Farewell, my love
No need to rise, my love
I’ll go alone, my love
And you’ll be free.
