Daphne Lyrics

[Refrain]
12, 11, 10, 9
Outside my house I've built a shrine
8, 7, 6, 5
But I have dreamt he's still alive
4, 3, 2, 1
In the lands of light his voice is sung
Row, row, row, row

[Verse 1]

Daphne froze in her white night gown
Cotton bill'd around her body
The sea is calling me down

[Verse 2]

[Refrain]
1, 2, 3, 4
For you, my love, I'll wait no more
5, 6, 7, 8
Lay your kisses to rest at the garden gates
9, 10, 11, 12
Because I've got to save myself
Row, row, row, row
The time is right for you to go
