Been here for so long
On the morrow I'll dare
Silent and distant

Reaching out, unaware
Stealing the whispers
From my deepest request


And you watch me
Waiting for something new

My hands, as empty
As my body and soul
Could keep pretending

But in the heart I'd be gone...

Still stare at my face

But lost seem your eyes
Keep hold of the sails
Against the blue sky


Ooh, I'm intending
A way back to the sea

This emptiness burns inside
And leads on for endless miles


Don't let me go
Away across the sea,
It may be much more wide

Than what it seems to be

Ooh, I'm still searching

The way back to be freed
The loneliness hangs around us
However we can't see


Now let me go
Away across the sea,

The waves can't be as high
As they pretend to be


And now I know
In my heart, I won't forget
The sails against the blue sky

That taught me how to live

... with no sorrow

And tomorrow we'll share
Silence and distance
'till our faults are repaired

You'll be the mistress
Who I'll never forget.
