Mainland

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...
