Set my sail


1

I set my sail to your heart dearest gold

I hope to sail till my strong hands grow old, 

To lands where the flower nectars bust

And we glad that the blue ocean sail with us

2

I set my sail to your dream, my puppet

I hope to dance with you as the sun set, 

To view the lonely islands that stand without 

And to receive the mild airs the wild brought 

3

I set my sail to the land of hope and joy

I set my ears to listen to the dolphin’s song, 

To the good sun that made the quiet waters glitter 

And to your love which made my life greener!
