| Lover, come to me, I’ve been waiting so long
|
| Here on the mainland, storms are raging
|
| Oh so lonesome for your arms
|
| My love wrote to me messages of longing
|
| When winter’s past and the storm is gone
|
| Then will the treacherous voyage come
|
| Here I stand on the northern edge
|
| Do you see the light of the mainland?
|
| Lover, sing to me, tell me tales of destiny
|
| Here on the mainland wars are waging
|
| Oh I’m yearning for your touch
|
| My prince promised me treasures beyond my dreams
|
| But here on the mainland winds are changing
|
| Nothing to keep me warm but your heart
|
| Here I stand on the northern edge
|
| Do you see the light of the mainland?
|
| Strong winds blowing away all my hope
|
| (but I still feel you)
|
| Showers pouring down on my faith
|
| (but I still feel you)
|
| Night so dark I am walking blinded
|
| (but I still feel you)
|
| Voices calling to me unfamiliar
|
| (but I still feel you)
|
| Then the break of dawn arrives and I see you
|
| Lover, come to me, I’ve been waiting so long
|
| Here on the mainland, storms are raging
|
| Oh so lonesome for your arms
|
| My love wrote to me messages of longing
|
| When winter’s past and the storm is gone
|
| Then will the treacherous voyage come
|
| Do you feel my love on the mainland?
|
| Come back to my fireside here on the mainland
|
| Come to the garden of delight here on the mainland
|
| Come home to good company here on the mainland
|
| Tell me tales of destiny here on the mainland
|
| Here on the mainland storms are raging
|
| Oh so lonesome for your arms
|
| Here on the mainland wars are waging
|
| Oh I’m yearning for your touch
|
| Here on the mainland winds are changing
|
| Nothing to keep me warm but your heart
|
| On the mainland…
