Say it ain't so

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
