Years ago I saw a waveless ocean Far and great, beyond everything I knew Nights were glowing, the days too long For a young man's dreamland and his fancy-song We lay together on summer-meadow islands Amazing eyes turned towards the oldest silence We tried to catch a glimpse of our past Our primal sea, so deep and vast All I know, a black hole's coming closer
Hold me on, I fear the nightmare's drowning me If I dreamed of my most precious moment I would point at the sparkling waveless ocean All I know, a black hole's coming closer Hold me on, I fear the nightmare's drowning hand All I knew, a fever burned within me Hold me on, I hope it never comes again
