Cruel Storm

Oh, cruel storm, cruel sailor, cruel plans
That take what they'd sooner sell to some foreign land
From my highest tower, I see distance, storms and swells
Whisper to my love "there is a happy land further away"

Oh, splendid lady, steel stars at your heels
I've watched your eyes fill with delight
As your hounds take the wild fox down
Your wicked of kin finds a place at your side
The black thorns might pierce my heart, but then I'd be free

Light darkness once more
Guide lost sailor's home again
Whether they be cruel or kind
As last light bleeds from the sky
I'll watch over the dawn
Coil moonbeams 'neath my tongue
Cast true love's spell once more
And it will be spring again...
