Riders of the tides, sons of my ancient mother
How often have you sailed in my dreams
Now you come in my awakening, which is my deeper dream
Ready now to go, my eagerness awaits the wind
Only another breath in this still air
And then I'll stand among you a seafarer among seafarers
Only another winding will this stream make
Another murmur in this glade, then I shall come to you
I shall come to you, a boundless drop to a boundless ocean
I shall come to you
Only another loving look cast backward
Riders of the tides, the gates of my heart open
Am I a harp that the hand of the mighty may touch me
A flute that her breath may pass through me
If this indeed be the hour that I raise my lantern
It is not my flame therein
I shall come to you, a boundless drop to a boundless ocean
I shall come to you, only another loving look cast backward
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Empty and dark shall I raise my lantern
The guardian of the night shall fill it with oil
And we will light it
