Sweet Sea

My nightly craft is winged in white
A dragon of night-dark sea
Swiftborn, dreambound and rudderless
Her captain and crew are me
Oh sweet sea, oh dear sea
Take me far from shore
But bear me safely to my Hold
When morning comes once more

The fickle wind's my foe
With tide his keen ally
They're jealous of my sea's love
And taunt her with their lies
Oh sweet sea, oh dear sea
Heed not their stormy wiles
But bear me safely to my Hold
And from their watery trials

I sail a hundred sleeping tides
Where no seaman's ever been
And only my white-winged craft and I
Know the marvels we have seen
Oh sweet sea, oh dear sea
Take me far from shore
But bear me safely to my Hold
When morning comes once more
