If I were but a captain, and you my Lorelei, I'd sail my ship upon the rocks, for in your arms to die, In the rolling, tossing tempest, you'd be the eye of calm, I'd lay my head upon your breast, to feel its soothing balm, As trade winds blow, to fill my sails, I'd feel as if been kissed, By beauteous goddess of the sea, she'd come from evening's mist, If I were but a captain, I'd sail the ocean blue, Seeking out my goddess fair, to sail away with you. Take my hand and sail with me, upon love's passion ship, Let me taste of satin lips, from forth your fountain sip, As I hold you in my arms, I touch upon night's sky, And sail the seas of all I dream, when you I do espy, I feel cool winds off ocean waves, soft kiss upon my cheek, When I hear sweet voice of Rose, of you of whom I seek, I feel the warmth of beating heart, when on ship's brow we stand, As I gaze on satin bloom, and touch upon your hand, A' sail alone forevermore, we'll sail to distant star, With Luna's glow our guiding light, to lead us from afar, O' tarry not on rocky shore, come sail to welkin blue, To feel the depth of my desire, my love I pledge to you. I take you gently in my arms, and feel your warm embrace, As light of heaven's stars above, shines down upon your face, I see the glow of all my dreams, within your beauty there, And touch upon moon's silver beams, as stroke your silken hair, I hear sweet music of the muse, we sail throughout the night, Free as the summer winds that blow, our hearts as one unite, You are my goddess, Aphrodite, you touch within my soul, And leave therein a satin bloom, a rose that makes me whole, I feel the splendor of the night, as hear your siren's song, Breathing in your fragrant scent, I capture all I long, For time stands still, my Venus fair, while I am in your arms, The moon itself, in sky above, cedes to your beauteous charms, My eyes drink of your loveliness, soft grace of supple limb, Sweet creature of the welkin blue, angelic seraphim, I kiss the smoothness of your skin, as gaze into your eyes, With soft caress, on passion's ship, a' sail across night's skies, The morning star, you are the night, we sail 'cross heaven's floor, Upon the clouds on winds of time, my darling Terpsichore, I sing to you love's madrigal, I'll love you evermore, I whisper softly to the wind, I love you evermore. Last night I sailed to Zanzibar, across the seven seas, Danced a dance with Terpsichore, upon soft evening's breeze, I plucked a flower from the skies, a rose named Southern Cross, And sang to her love's madrigal, upon her heart emboss, The signature of all I am, of all I'll ever be, For while I hold her in my arms, 'tis only Rose I see, I long to feel her soft caress, to of her passions sip, 'Til once again sail seven seas, upon night's sailing ship. He was but a mortal man, who touched upon a star, Who came to him in still of night, and carried him afar, Beyond the mountain's snowcapped peak, rushing crystal streams, Beyond Polaris and his minions, unto the land of Dreams, Where he held her in his arms, touched upon silk skin, Felt the warmth of her desire, welling from within, Sweet tender lips in passion pressed, meld in warm embrace, Breeched stone walls of heart's escarp, Urania's heavenly grace, His eyes drank of her loveliness, soft touch of supple limb, Caressed the smoothness of her face, angelic seraphim, Once upon a memory, he gazed into her eyes, Once upon a memory, he sailed upon night's skies.
