A Lover's Dream

On the oceans of a lover's
dream
I left you there...
Among Springtime's
yearnings
of another year --
Apart...but
I wept for your touch
my love...

On the oceans of a lover's
dream
We parted
in stormy sullenness --
Again
That destiny should have
planned this fate
To see the
angry oceans sweep
away our footsteps

On the oceans of a lover's
dream
Our different lives
taking us away
Yet our paths crossed --
Again, entwined
And from the beginning
we knew --
Our lives were meant
to be --
Together

On the oceans of a lover's
dream
Different worlds,
different ways
Yet the difference --
no meaning
For all the oceans
and all our loneliness
Could not kill our love
Forever we are as one

On the oceans of a lover's
dream
The difference is our
destiny
And no oceans can
drown us
Our love lives on
In the whispering
kisses of the
endless waves
Through all eternity
In the echoes...
of a lover's dream
