As tides roll in, persuaded by the moon Your heart directs my journey to love’s shore Harmonic lunar altitudes attune And swirling waves join souls forevermore. Amidst this cycle one thing I must mend: As all too soon the sea recedes again. My love lies weakened, distant at shore’s end Until assured by pledge that you’ll remain. But how am I to overcome this force And stay steadfast, not washed away by tides? I beg you ne’er allow me to change course ‘Til arms entwined adjoin where love resides. So when the sea recedes then rejoins land Our hearts will ne‘er subside; ’gainst tides we’ll stand.
