The Sailor and the Mermaid

I sailed away for a thousand years
 Searching for reasons to know
 So many times I've let my fears
 Distract my soul from where I have to go
 Oceans have rocked this little boat
 Often too hard but still it goes
 After a storm I only know
 How far a distance I must go
 I've heard the sound of distant ships in my life
 All clouds around
 I hear them call my name at night time
 Familiar choir echoes afar
 Draws me far away from shorelines
 To a place I long to know
 Caressing wind brush back my hair
 Distant shapes keep me awake
 Scents of flowers in the air
 Evoke lost memories of a lake
 In waves she dances
 Playing passing close by
 The green of her eyes
 Reminds me of a distant lifetime
 I know I've seen this face before
 Her voice invites what's left of my life
 To the land of evermore
 No more frontiers will ever stand between us
 Let go my fear
 And let my soul fall in the ocean
 As every dolphin rules the sea
 Hand in hand we'll sail forever
 To where we were meant to be
 In the morning they came aboard
 They only found this little note
 Please tell them all I love them so
 But I really had to go...
