I felt you drifting by

I felt you drifting by
fading light that caught my eye
vision of serenity
Brought in times of tragedy
face so pale and skin like snow
calming warmth, love’s inner glow
The one I long to see at last
fleeting moment of the past

Oh cut adrift at sea
The waves lashed on relentlessly
Your body taken to the deep
watery grave in which you’d sleep
Helpless, I clung to the wreck
storm so wild, I’ll never forget
fatal crossing, we would take
Your body, nature, it would break

Oh I ask, I beg, I plead
Walk with me my Queen tonight
And love again you’ll see
I would give my everything
Just for one more day
So walk with me my Queen tonight
Our exiled spirits free

But it was not to be
Your ghost, a passing memory
Staring at the yellow moon
I wonder how you left so soon
Now you’re resting peacefully
Away from life’s cruel trickery
So into madness I descend
Together we’ll be when my time ends
