Description
Inspired in part by the Song of Songs, and in part by some fantasy story I made up in my head, I painted a musical picture involving a maiden, her love, and great distance between them. One finally reaching the shores of the New World, while the other still far off on another land.
Lyrics
Lover, come to me, I’ve been waiting so long Here on the mainland, storms are raging Oh so lonesome for your arms My love wrote to me messages of longing When winter’s past and the storm is gone Then will the treacherous voyage come Here I stand on the northern edge Do you see the light of the mainland? Lover, sing to me, tell me tales of destiny Here on the mainland wars are waging Oh I’m yearning for your touch My prince promised me treasures beyond my dreams But here on the mainland winds are changing Nothing to keep me warm but your heart Here I stand on the northern edge Do you see the light of the mainland? Strong winds blowing away all my hope (but I still feel you) Showers pouring down on my faith (but I still feel you) Night so dark I am walking blinded (but I still feel you) Voices calling to me unfamiliar (but I still feel you) Then the break of dawn arrives and I see you Lover, come to me, I’ve been waiting so long Here on the mainland, storms are raging Oh so lonesome for your arms My love wrote to me messages of longing When winter’s past and the storm is gone Then will the treacherous voyage come Do you feel my love on the mainland? Come back to my fireside here on the mainland Come to the garden of delight here on the mainland Come home to good company here on the mainland Tell me tales of destiny here on the mainland Here on the mainland storms are raging Oh so lonesome for your arms Here on the mainland wars are waging Oh I’m yearning for your touch Here on the mainland winds are changing Nothing to keep me warm but your heart On the mainland…
