She bid him farewell as he sailed away In search of good fortune by sea And when he'd come home they would marry that day And live in a sweet lovers' dream But the winds blew hard and the sky turned dark The ship she was tossed on the sea All lives were lost there was no turning back A storm that was destiny Years went by, not a day did she cry Waiting and hoping in vain Then in a dream a bittersweet dream She saw her young love once again Take my hand and follow me Past the fields and shore She followed the mist to the rising tide And never was seen ever more On a silver moon night With the stars shining bright The maiden and sailor are seen Like jewels in the mist who dance on the waves And live in a sweet lovers dream Live in a sweet lover's dream
