Try as a I may, I?m alone, I?m alone in my arms
And just as you came you are gone with the wind that blows warm
May the tide, may the tide warm the earth with its praise
Just as I, just as I welcome each of these days

Hello, my bird you?re a song that I don?t often sing
The lofty bright web that you weave it?s a fragile thing
And my heart, oh my heart longs to be just as strong
No, the notes, no the notes of your sea-faring song

Oh my love, I am calm when I think of your arms
And the silence, oh the silence that keeps us both warm
