I was sinking. Long have I dwelt o'er the Realm of the Drowning Man Still I was empty... Long have they been dashed against my shores Still I was waiting... And to my wat'ry depths they sadly sank And I was sinking. I put them all to sleep One touch of my voice Then dead at my feet It was nothing... In the early hours A grey dawn misty morn The turning tide Surveyed with flooding eyes The sky breaking through The morning silent
And yet I hear the sound The faintest beat Of heart that sank itself Beneath my waves There was something... I realize I'm nothing like my kind Your heart is still beating Keep your heart alive I'm almost there Keep your heart alive and I'll bring you home You better sing out strong You've got a voice that melts the glaciers down. Keep your heart alive I'm almost there Keep yourself alive and I'll bring you home
