We didn't mean to go to sea, my darling We just drifted away come what might We let our boat sail on a secret sea of dreams, winds blowing Set our sails, and let the world fly by How can this be over?
Say it ain't so!
A promise is a lazy friend, they say Easily given so hard to keep Remember me when your ship leaves the safety of the harbour When you ride the waves on distant shores And when you lie awake Turning over and over
Say it ain't so!
What a way to waste away, my darling Our voyage is over my breath spent What's left: snow falling softly by my window Blotting out the world as time stands still Little by little
