You came to my bed like a shipwrecked mariner Singing your songs of love and paradise Islands and oceans shimmered in your eyes I could see vast horizons in your skies You said you could sail us all around the world Where we would have the dreams our hearts could hold Angelfish sparkled, sunlight was unfurled Silver and blue skies, all the days were gold There would be starry skies and ecstasy We would live all our lives upon the sea There were no monsters there to come at night We would live with no fear and with no fight So when the storms came down upon our dream You said I got it wrong and we would drown I should have seen the shipwreck in your eyes I should have understood your cloudy skies I never will forget that brilliant day I'll never give away the sunlit rays Though you had promised me another world I found my flag was mine to be unfurled There would be starry skies and ecstasy We would live all our lives upon the sea There were no monsters there to come at night We would live with no fear and with no fight You came to my bed like a shipwrecked mariner Singing your songs of love and paradise Islands and oceans shimmered in your skies I could see vast horizons in your eyes You were the shipwreck I had to survive You gave me all the strength to stay alive You were the shipwreck I had to survive You gave me all the strength to stay alive You came to my bed like a shipwrecked mariner
